WNBA star Griner has been sentenced to nine years in prison for drug smuggling. According to reports, the basketball star was caught at the airport earlier this year due to carrying marijuana oil in an e-cigarette.
According to reports from the United States, the government is considering a prisoner exchange with Russia in order to secure the release of Griner. Subsequently, Russia confirmed the news.
Russian news agency TASS reported that Alexander Datchev, the North American director of Russia's Foreign Ministry, stated that discussions about a sensitive topic of communication are ongoing through channels between the two countries' presidents. Datchev added that silent diplomatic efforts are still being carried out, and positive results can be achieved if Washington is cautious to avoid negative publicity.
Griner has been detained in Russia since early 2022.
She may be deported to the United States in exchange for a Russian arms dealer.
