WASHINGTON, March 31 — The Wall Street Journal editorial board has called for Russia’s ambassador to the United States to be expelled, following the arrest of one of the newspaper’s reporters in Russia on espionage charges.
“The timing of the arrest looks like a calculated provocation to embarrass the US and intimidate the foreign press still working in Russia,” it added. He is believed to be the first foreign journalist held for spying in post-Soviet Russia, and his arrest is expected to escalate the Kremlin’s confrontation with the West amid Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
The White House condemned the arrest and warned Americans not to travel to Russia, while also advising those now inside the country to leave for their own safety.
