    Gershkovich wasn’t on vacation or anything. He was working on an assignment for the WSJ

      Right but maybe the WSJ should have hired a Russian (or 3rd nationality) journalist for the role.

      It’s not different on how things were in Cuba few years ago where it wasn’t possible to send US citizens there
