Gershkovich faces 20 years in prison if convicted, with no evidence presented to support the allegations by Russian authorities.
His family expressed the unimaginable difficulty of the past year and pledged to continue fighting for his freedom.
The U.S. State Department declared Gershkovich as 'wrongfully detained' by Russia, a rare designation for innocent citizens facing unlawful detention or political motives.
Acquittals in espionage cases are exceptionally rare in Russia, intensifying the gravity of Gershkovich's situation.
