Russia Detains American in Moscow Over Suspected Spying
Although the Kremlin would never reveal as much, this was without doubt approved by Vladimir Putin.
The KGB Colonel probably needs some US trade-bait for Russian spy Maria Butina who has plead guilty to being an undeclared foreign agent.

The Federal Security Services (FSB) said on Monday it had detained an American citizen suspected of spying in Moscow. The FSB, which said the American had been detained on December 28, said in a statement that a criminal case had been opened against him. It did not provide any detail about the nature of the alleged espionage. The U.S. Embassy in Moscow could not immediately be reached for comment. Russia's relations with the United States have soured since Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. Since then the United States and other Western countries have imposed a wide-range of sanctions against Russian officials, companies and banks.
