US journalist Evan Gershkovich will go on trial in Russia on espionage charges, Russian prosecutors have said.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reporter has been accused of collecting "secret information" from a Russian tank factory on behalf of the CIA.
The prosecutors have said he will stand trial in a court in Yekaterinburg – the city in the Urals he was arrested in last March while covering the war in Ukraine.
Mr Gershkovich, 32, denies the charges, while the WSJ dismissed the forthcoming trial as a "sham".
The US considers the reporter to be "wrongfully detained".
