The US State Department said that it has not yet received a response from the Russian Foreign Ministry on the situation with the detention of The Wall Street Journal correspondent Evan Gershkovich in Yekaterinburg.
“We have been contacted through the appropriate channels as soon as we learned of these events,” said Deputy State Department spokesman Vedant Patel.
According to him, the American embassy requested official notification of the citizen’s detention.
Earlier Thursday, Moscow’s Lefortovo Court authorized Gershkovich’s arrest until May 29.
