A resolution calling for the immediate release of Evan Gershkovich, a United States citizen and journalist, who was wrongfully detained by the Government of the Russian Federation in March 2023.

This resolution is a formal statement from the U.S. Senate calling for the immediate release of Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was detained in Russia on espionage charges that the U.S. government maintains are baseless. The measure directs U.S. officials to prioritize his case, along with the cases of other detained Americans like Paul Whelan, in all diplomatic interactions with the Russian government. While the resolution does not carry the force of law, it serves as a unified declaration of national policy, signaling to international leaders that the safe return of these citizens is a top priority for the United States.
