CNN’s Poppy Harlow talks to Pjotr Sauer, Russian affairs reporter for The Guardian, about the dangers journalists face working abroad and his close friendship with detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich who was arrested in Russia. #CNN #News
Sad.
Why didn’t the newspaper recall him?
Why does he not read the newspaper ?
They did. He stayed. He does have family there or something. Has ties.
U.S. Embassy told all Americans to leave Russia at the start of the Ukraine Russia conflict he chose to stay.
@Molecular Ron a lot of those western guys who are « staying longer » aren’t doing exactly what you think they’re doing…
Let’s have some reporting about the persecution of Julian Assange.
@Ed 007 only to Klantifa puppets.
I also want to know you
@Ed 007 A traitor? To who? Certainly not to you or your country. Unless you’re not a U.S. citizen…
@Ed 007 A “trator”? A “trator” to whom? Australia? How?
I feel sad that he’s in this situation, but he knew the risks going in. The US government told everyone specifically not to go to Russia and any US citizens that were there had to leave. That was the advice given so it’s hard for me to have any sympathy for the situation that he is in right now. What he has done is put President Biden in a situation where he has to now go in and negotiate and that could take years
And especially for espionage.
Didn’t take long for Britney Griner who willingly and knowingly took drugs into a foreign nation. Why would it be years for this guy…but only months for her?
❤🙏👍
No way we know who is a spy, isn’t that the point.
That’s what a spy would say
He essentially said his dream was to be imprisoned in Russia, why?!? This feels like it’s entirely his and WSJ fault. How is this being reported as if it’s a surprise? The surprise is that he was still there for so long and wasn’t arrested by the dictatorship sooner.
I do hope he gets to come home eventually, but this would be akin to a tourist screwing themselves over not understanding their surrounding, not a hero
Maybe he was a Trump supporter?
He was warned, failed to comply and now suffers the consquences. Journalists are not above the law.
Love Russia so much, he’s gotta take that mandatory 10 years of imprisonment.
This guy looks and sounds too stunned to be an actual spy OR EVEN CIA asset!!!
Sending many Blessings Hold on Evan it’s just Putin being the liar he is. Truth is coming
Welp, he wanted to be on the ground. He left his comfortable job for a life threatening assignment. This is what happens.
Governments don’t like truth tellers. I commend him for standing for what he believes.
He reports what his master’s say too….all lies usually.
what this “truthteller” was doing in the RUSSIAN SECRET PLANTS?
The United States has long forgotten what the term journalism means. Now a journalist means a spy, A terrorist is now a hero, a woman is now a man, and the world is war.
👏
Wow what about all the media in the US being incarcerated. They say it’s for the good of people. We need more good journalism.
Sorry, we have already traded the Merchant of Death for a trans guy playing on a girls basketball team that can’t jump. While Mr Grinder’s team is playing so bad it is not even worth mentioning, the Merchant of Death has already scored a few hundred million selling the $87 billion worth of top-secret military equipment we gave the Taliban making them the second largest arms dealer in the world.
Truly sorry Joe not doing nothing to get them out.
Hope the WSJ reporter returns home soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Like a reporter yes. But like a spy no.
He’s extremely brave! I was born in Russia. I never had any fascination for Russia. I just always wanted to leave that brutal and uncomfortable place forever, and I left it around 10 years ago. Never visit Russia or Belarus! It’s extremely dangerous, and the weather is pretty cold during the winter.
Free Evan!
Stop your BS! Do you want to convince me that to be in Detroit is safer than to be in Ekaterinburg?
To be in Russia these days is safer than to be in the New York subway!
@Yuri I know that Ekaterinburg or Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (the place of birth) is, in general, safer than Detroit. However, the danger of the New York subway is exaggerated. The crime levels in New York state are lower than it used to be in 1990 or in 2000. Also, what’s about people in Russia, who’re against the current ultraconservative government or who look in a different way?
