Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that it had rejected a request from the United States embassy to visit detained Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich on May 11.
It said the measure was taken in response to Washington's failure to process visas for "representatives from the journalistic pool" of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“The US embassy was informed that its request for a consular visit on May 11... to US citizen (Evan) Gershkovich, who was detained on charges of espionage, has been rejected,” the Russian foreign ministry said.
