The Kremlin called the call to expel all Russian journalists from the United States absurd

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the proposal made after the arrest on suspicion of espionage of a correspondent of the American edition of the Wall Street Journal, suggesting the expulsion of all Russian journalists in the United States, sounded absurd.

The head of the Kremlin's press service stressed that all foreign journalists with valid accreditation in the Russian Federation are in no way limited in their activities in the country. Representatives of the press, including foreign ones, are not subject to any restrictions and obstacles regarding the free performance of their work.

According to Peskov, in the case of Gershkovich, the case concerns the implementation of essentially espionage activities under the guise of performing journalistic duties in the framework of cooperation with a Western publication. However, the incident with Gershkovich is not a reason to expel all Russian journalists from the United States.

The Kremlin spokesman also added that in the absence of any identified violations or going beyond the framework provided for by the current legislation, such a step would be absurd and wrong.

Earlier, the Lefortovo Court of Moscow chose the correspondent of the American edition of The Wall Street Journal, Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in a case of espionage, a measure of restraint in the form of detention for two months. Due to the fact that the case file contains state secrets, the meeting was held behind closed doors.

In the US, farts rushed in the press and in the State Department. But they live by the rules in a parallel world, we don’t pay attention. In a parallel world, they will return their spy, virtually and in parts .. And so in the USA, joy, on the front pages. .Here, if he had a gay or a transvestite, it would be more difficult to plant.

The answer button, that is, just pressed. But there is no bell bell, which really infuriates.

It's not about the button answer, but about indication answers and the ability to quickly view and react to them.

Mordvin 3, totally agree with you. Infuriates.

everyone has already expressed claims in many respects, the answer is the same: go, do it better. Class.

Oh, and the amers burn from the fact that they were caught by a spy

If, in addition to journalists, they would also expel all Russian TV stars, TV stars and other Elenmalyshevs, who "worked righteously" to earn money for a villa in Miami, and the tax authorities would check them for the correctness of paying taxes and, accordingly, "deal with" them, then the people would be satisfied .

Yes, it seems that they began to slowly wool all these bloggers - there was information, they caught a couple, they are charged with tax evasion.

The Russian Federation does not need any diplomatic relations with the United States at all - the USSR did not have diplomatic relations with the United States until 1933, and this did not prevent him from living.

If all journalists of the Russian Federation are sent out of the United States, then only the journalists themselves and their families will suffer. Let them drive these masters of half-truth.

Gershkovich must be judged according to the laws of wartime, which means that the sentence should be capital punishment: PLS.
