reporter and U.S. citizen Evan Gershkovich has officially been charged with espionage by the Russian Federal Security Service, according to Russian state news agency TASS. Gershkovich was arrested on March 30 in the city of Yekaterinburg near Russia’s Urals region on allegations that he attempted to gather “state secrets” about Russia’s military industrial complex.
