Gershkovich is being charged with spying for the United States, but his supporters say he was reporting on crimes committed by Russian leaders.

"He didn't do anything wrong," said Regina Troianovski. "He's a great reporter, but he's covering Putin's atrocities."

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is calling on Russia to release Gershkovich immediately, but the Russians say he is being held for trial, which could take months.
