8:12 a.m .: Joe Biden demands in Moscow the release of the arrested journalist
Joe Biden asked Moscow on Friday to “let go” an American journalist arrested in Russia, whose employer, the Wall Street Journal, is calling for the expulsion of the Russian ambassador and journalists stationed in the United States. .
“Let him go”, launched the American president for the Russian government, in the face of journalists who sought, at the White House, his first public reaction on this affair. Evan Gershkovich, a 31-year-old Russian-speaking reporter known for his thoroughness, was arrested in Yekaterinburg, in the Urals, on suspicion of “espionage”.
