Zakharova: US reaction to the arrest of journalist Gershkovich became self-exposure

"The self-exposure of the so-called 'democratic society', which manifests itself simply as a liberal dictatorship," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

Zakharova stressed that there is no investigation on the part of the United States to understand what happened to the journalist.

Earlier, Zakharova invited the head of EU diplomacy Josep Borrell, who expressed concern for Gershkovich, arrested in Russia, to stand up for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and Sputnik Lithuania editor-in-chief Marat Kasem.

US President Joe Biden appealed to the Russian authorities with an appeal to release the journalist of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Evan Gershkovich, arrested on March 30 in Russia for espionage.
