Reporters filmed Evan Gershkovich ahead of his closed trial in Yekaterinburg. Prosecutors allege he gathered secret information on a company making tanks for Russia's war in Ukraine.
Accused of spying for the CIA, Gershkovich and US officials deny accusations. He's accredited by Russia's Foreign Ministry and the first Western journalist arrested on espionage charges in post-Soviet Russia.
Gershkovich, held in Lefortovo prison, has been part of tensions between Moscow and Washington over Ukraine. Putin signaled openness to a possible prisoner exchange, while the US criticizes Russia for 'hostage diplomacy.'
