Russia Rejects U.S. Journalist Gershkovich’s Detention Appeal
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.

Long-delayed Ukraine aid clears US Congress, awaits Biden signature
Quick Glance: Senate Passes $95 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan
  • The Senate has passed a $95 billion aid package for war assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, sending the legislation to President Joe Biden after months of delays and contentious debates over U.S. involvement in foreign wars.

  • The legislation also includes $26 billion for wartime assistance to Israel and humanitarian relief for the citizens of Gaza, along with $8 billion to counter Chinese threats in Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.

  • Senate Republicans and House Republicans collaborated to secure the aid for Ukraine and Israel, emphasizing the potential dire consequences if Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression goes unchecked.

  • There was broad congressional support for the aid package, but leaders had to navigate strong opposition from conservatives questioning U.S. involvement in foreign wars and focusing on issues like migration at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Quick Glance: Russian Attack Causes Destruction of TV Tower in Kharkiv
  • A television tower in Kharkiv was ripped in two by a Russian missile strike on Monday, described by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a deliberate attempt by Moscow to make the second largest city in Ukraine uninhabitable.

  • Zelenskyy briefed US President Joe Biden about the airstrike that occurred shortly before their conversation.

  • The Service for State Special Communications reported partial damage to the tower's structure, resulting in a temporary loss of television signal. Efforts are underway to restore it, with residents advised to use cable, online TV, or radio if they lack a digital TV signal.
