The Kremlin denies that Putin personally approved the arrest of the WSJ journalist

The Kremlin on Thursday denied a report that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally approved the arrest of Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Russia late last month on espionage charges.

“No, it’s not the prerogative of the president, it’s the special services who are doing their job. Once again, I would like to remind you that this journalist was caught in the act of committing a crime,” the spokesman told reporters of the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov. .
