Sky News: Reports in its 7.19pm post the following, "
Why won't the Russians let go Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich?......
A Russian judge earlier upheld the pre-trial detention of jailed American journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was arrested on spying charges in Ukraine..... The Wall Street Journal reporter is the first US correspondent since the Cold War to be detained in Russia on spying allegations. "Lets Get Real:
The Kremlin wants hostages, enough for the US to start talks that allows the Russians to win in the Ukraine, so far they hold 2, if the Ukraine can force the Russians back to the Crimea, the Kremlin will look for a way out, the best way out is to take Americans reporters as hostages, that gets on the nightly news back home, and places pressure on the Biden Oval to do something, the White House staff should keep the issue away from the Oval, Carter had his Iran hostages, and even the great Reagan had the hostages in Lebanon in the 1980s. Thus the Iran Contra scandal. The President cannot become distracted by the issue, the State Department should deal with the issue, the Department should warn Americans in Russia to get out, also the West should consider telling its reporters to get out, just in case the Kremlin wants to place pressure on Europe. This is a nasty business, and the Russians actions are a stain on its character, but for Putin it might be a way out, he wants a major summit with Biden and the result from the Kremlin point of view would be the US telling KYIV to talk to the Russians and make concessions and the Russia will release its hostages. This must not happen, the security of the West is at stake.
