A Moscow court ruled Thursday that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich must stay in jail on espionage charges until the end of November, Russian state news agency Tass reported.

Gershkovich has been sitting in jail since the end of March when he was detained in the city of Yekaterinburg, almost 2,000km (1200 miles) east of Moscow, while on a reporting trip. The latest ruling means he faces spending at least eight months in prison.

      Yeah thanks much better term, he was an arms dealer. I’m not sure when he was due to be released.

      Looking back, I guess he returned to Russia and helped them prepare to invade Ukraine m
