Russia's conviction of Gershkovich 'politically motivated': Berlin

The sentencing of US reporter Evan Gershkovich to 16 years in a Russian penal colony was condemned as "politically motivated" by the German government on Friday.

The conviction of Gershkovich "shows Putin's fear of the power of facts," German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in a statement on X, condemning the judgment as "politically motivated and part of Putin's war propaganda."
