  1. Russia hasn’t got any rights to keep our citizen in their prison. He didn’t do anything

  2. Our government will respond to such behavior on the part of Russia. And this only exacerbates the position of Russia

  3. Russia is getting more and more unbalanced

  4. It is clear that the journalist had nothing to do with "espionage" and his only "crime" was that he tried to write an article about the Wagner PMC

  5. No wonder Russia makes up some laws on its own and then starts making a fool of itself.

  6. Russia allows itself too much. It's about time we dealt with it.

  7. Russia unleashed a war in Ukraine, deported children from Ukraine, killed people, raped and tortured. And now they have detained an innocent journalist

  8. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has resulted in a situation similar to that in Somalia, where the likelihood of being killed or captured for ransom is very high. The daily violence and absence of legitimate authorities have created a dangerous and unstable environment in these territories.

  9. People saying that Evan was a spy are delusional. Wake up, he lived in Russia for 7 years now. And even when russians have invaded Ukraine, he stayed there to report. And this is exactly what he was arrested for, because reporting truth in Russia is prohibited by the same people who decide who's guilty and who's not.

  10. hope for the justice of the law in the case of Russia is useless because Russia violates human rights, thousands of victims of the Kremlin regime both in Russia and in Ukraine demand help, and we will not leave this case for anything. Military aid for the Ukrainian army will speed up the victory over Putin, and save thousands of lives

  11. It didn't take this long to fight for the dude who plays women's basketball and got caught trying to smuggle an illegal narcotic out of the country after smuggling it there to start with.

  12. All he has to do is say that he's a Transgender and identifies as an African American…Biden will swap another gun dealer

  13. Media fodder…move along

  14. Great😂😂😂…. That changes everything!!! Russia and China have zero respect or fear of America any longer…Even Saudi Arabia has zero respect for them and told them go scratch..

  15. LOCK HIM UP! He was caught in the act of spying. He is a sleeze bag American reporter so handcuff him and send to a Siberian gulag

  16. He is a spy, and a bad one at that…getting caught and all.
    Every day he is still breathing, he should be grateful.

  17. They also said Brittney Griner was wrongfully detained. Perry’s sure we are all out of war criminals to trade, not like they would anyway seeing he is a straight white male.

  18. Julian Assange is currently being WRONGFULLY DETAINED by the USA for exposing video of U.S. war crimes in Iraq.

  19. Typical hypocrisy from USA preaching others how they should govern their countries and enforce their legislation.
    What about stilling foreigners assets just because of their nationality, isn't this unlawfull ?

  20. Sorry he is not a wmba player so good luck in russia

  21. I’m sure Russia is shaking……

  22. They need to get them both out of there. Him and Whalen. If they were transgender they would have done a military rescue of them.

  23. "Wrongfully detained" I highly doubt he was wrongfully detained considering the fact he was "in a country that is anti-American that's in the middle of a war" as an American. He deserves to be locked up there because he decided he wanted to go to Russia as a US citizen.

  24. Since this guy is not a transgender then he can get in line and get the marine out first. Don’t care about a woke reporter.

  25. Oh Come on. He was spying and was caught picking up documents from a dead drop. The US should just admit it and trade him for a Russian spy.

  26. What about our marine f the reporter

  27. April 14th 15th 16th and something about the 25th

  28. Hodorkovskii,Chichvarkin+sbu+fbk Novalnii=terrakt gurnalist!

  29. Dude looks like a CIA agent not a WSJ reporter lol

  30. Putin is gonna destroy the liberals lmao

  31. https://youtu.be/bbnZdIj2zNA after the terrorist attack and the murder of a journalist, Zelensky began to mock priests, believers.
