'Staying strong, still funny, still himself': What friends say about journalist detained in Russia one year ago today
Friday, 29 March 2024 It is one year to the day since Evan Gershkovich, a 32-year-old reporter for the Wall Street Journal, was detained by the FSB, dragged out of a restaurant in Ekaterinburg with a bag over his head and brought to Moscow's Lefortovo jail.
Democratic Senators Jack Reed and Jeanne Shaheen have called for an investigation into Elon Musk's alleged communications with Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin. The senators cite Wall Street Journal reports claiming Musk had contact with Putin in 2023. They expressed concerns given Musk's government contracts through SpaceX and his security clearance. The Kremlin denied these claims, stating Musk and Putin only spoke once before 2022.

Ukraine escalates the conflict with a long-range missile strike against Russia’s Bryansk region, using the U.S.-supplied ATACMS missile system. The strike comes after Moscow issued a stern nuclear warning, with tensions further flaring as the missiles mark the first direct assault on Russia’s internationally recognized territory. Despite Russia’s defence systems intercepting some of the missiles, the strike caused significant damage, including a fire at a military facility. The use of ATACMS missiles, capable of reaching targets up to 300 km away, signals a new phase in Ukraine's military strategy, intensifying the conflict in the ongoing war

In a high-stakes operation, Russian security services have thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian intelligence to hijack a Mi-8MTPR-1 electronic warfare helicopter. The plot was uncovered by a Russian pilot, who was offered a large bribe and a complex escape route in exchange for betraying his country. The Ukrainian agent, who went by the name 'Sergey,' also advised the pilot to poison his fellow crew members or use a weapon to ensure the success of the hijacking. The pilot, trained to recognize security threats, reported the contact to his superiors, and the situation was turned into a counter-operation by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).
