Russian security forces detained Gershkovich, accusing him of spying for the US, regarding confidential military information. His trial, after 15 months of detention at Lefortovo prison, is set to begin.
Gershkovich, a US journalist with Russian heritage, had been reporting on the Wagner Group in Yekaterinburg, close to a plant producing tanks for Ukraine, potentially implicating reasons for his arrest.
