Trade him for Zelesnkyyyyy.
They have got the hide to talk about 'wrongful' detention of one USA citizen when they held dozens of inmates in Guantanamo Bay , some for nearly twenty years, without any charge!
No negotiations and peaceful solutions, only the overthrow of Russia by military means!
Ukraine is fighting every day against terrorists who climb on their land with weapons. It needs as many weapons as possible to protect and regain its land)
Russia started violating the rights of people in the occupied territories, now they do what they want in Russia. This is a criminal country. They lie all the time, but in fact they violate people's rights. I think the only way to fight this is to help Ukraine win
I won’t be surprised if Russia did this. They always take participation in such actions
Last time a drug head sportswoman, this time a wsj report. American spies continue to shocking the world.
accusing an innocent person in Russia is a common thing. Human rights suffer a lot there
Once again I am convinced that Russia invents some stupid laws of its own and forces everyone to live by them.
Wow, 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.
Nice Russia
The incursion of Russia into Ukraine has resulted in a situation where the danger of being killed or abducted for ransom is similar to that found in Somalia. Life in these territories is fraught with danger due to the lack of legitimate governance and constant fighting.
I think that such behavior on the part of Russia will not leave the United States without attention
Russians behave as if they can do everything without paying attention to the rules
I would believe Putin, over anyone in the Biden Administration.
It's great that we've acknowledged him being "wrongfully detained", but what does it change really? Russians are acting more and more unhinged and it will only get worse until someone will stop them. We've got to send a strong message for them to finally stop provocating US and European countries. Therefore helping Ukraine to win and ultimately defeat russian army and Putin's regime is definitely a worthy cause.
once again we see the violation of human rights by the Russian Federation, and every time Russia finds justification for its illegal actions, in consequence, it leads to more violations of the law by the Russian Federation, and we must stop it
Just trade another Russian weapons dealer for the journalist… oh wait they already trade their one Russian weapons dealer for an anti basketball player.💨🤡
Is he a bad person?
I wounder if journalists were acting as spy’s for the Pentagon
So its a minor infraction when britney do it
Somehow, I expected this report to blame Trump for his capture. Maybe it’s MSNBC that will blame Trump. I’ll have to check. 😊
This is beyond pathetic.
He is a criminal, he got detained
Period
He's not wrongfully detained
There is evidence and reasons.
Amerika as usual fuming and spreading their lunaticy
Pray for the WSJ reporter and all those detained after peacefully protesting on January 6th. All are political prisoners in a world gone crazy.
He is a spy…why would you go take photos of military restricted area??
These himherthey further lost what little credibility they have left when they said miss pothead was wrongfully detained. Let's do a win win trade here and trade this guy for Assange.
Here we go again
Funny how any american arrested in Russia is "wrongfully detained".
Only a CIA operative would be this dumb
WSJ "reporter"? Keep him!
TRADE BRITNEY GRINER FOR HIM
Gee ya think?
If they can’t do the time respect other countries rules, then don’t do what your doing. Just keep your business to yourself, and leave other countries alone. I don’t think he will get out on this one, since America has no exchange Russian prisoner doing time in America 🇺🇸
Meanwhile the US/UK jails and tortures journalist Julian Assange for years for having published evidence of US war crimes.
Biden Regime talked him into playing spy games and he got caught, now Griner under Russian law committed a serious crime, they traded her for an arms dealer who is responsible for the murder of countless lives,
