All Americans – even journalists – must leave Russia. In such an appeal on Friday, March 31, the representative of the US National Security Council, John Kirby, spoke to the citizens of the country, writes CNN.
“Now is not the time for Americans to be in Russia. If you are in Russia – for business, pleasure, any travel purpose – you need to leave now. Russia is not the best place for you, even if you is a working journalist. Russia is now a hostile environment for American citizens. And if you’re there, it’s time to leave,” Kirby said.

Note that The Wall Street Journal has demanded that all Russian journalists, as well as the Russian ambassador, be expelled from the United States. The reason is the detention of an American journalist in Russia. Togo was accused of espionage, but his colleagues believed that this was an action planned by the FSB.
Remember, on March 30, it was learned that in Russia, security forces detained a US citizen, a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, Evan Gershkovich, in Yekaterinburg. The FSB accused him of “spying on a business of the Russian military-industrial complex.”
