WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia in recent weeks rejected a new proposal for the release of Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich, two Americans considered by Washington to be "wrongfully detained" by Russia, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Tuesday.
Miller told reporters it was a significant proposal and that Russia rejected the offer on the table, but declined to provide details on what Washington proposed.
