Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
- Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.
- Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.
- Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.
- Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

- A Russian deputy defense minister, Timur Ivanov, exposed in an investigation by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, was placed in custody on Wednesday under suspicion of accepting significant bribes.
- Ivanov, 48, a longtime ally of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, was responsible for construction and procurement for the Armed Forces and was associated with the high-profile reconstruction of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol occupied by Moscow's forces.
- Several independent Russian media outlets alleged that Ivanov and his family amassed immense wealth through kick-backs on contracts he approved at the ministry.
- Critics argue that the substantial funds flowing into the Ukraine offensive have provided officials with new avenues to enrich themselves through covert procurement agreements.
