According to the investigators, the journalist was commissioned by the CIA to collect information about Uralvagonzavod, which manufactures and repairs military equipment.

Gershkovich does not admit guilt, insisting that he was engaged in Russia only in journalistic activities.<\/p>\n

The U.S. authorities, human rights and journalistic international organisations have repeatedly urged Moscow to release the journalist. The US State Department has labelled Gershkovich as “unlawfully detained”.<\/p>\n

Several sources close to Russian and U.S. political circles said that Gershkovich could be held for exchange for any of the Russians in U.S. prisons. In December 2023, US authorities said that Russia had rejected an offer to release the journalist.<\/p>\n
