Russia said Thursday it was not close to a trade for the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner, just a day after the U.S. revealed it placed an offer on the table for her freedom.
The U.S. initially proposed a prisoner exchange in June, offering to release notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout for Griner, according to CNN. While both sides have been in negotiations for months, Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for Russia’s foreign ministry, said little progress had been made, according to Reuters.

So the decrepit-in-chief is willing to trade an arms dealer for a basketball player who had a bit of weed in her bags.
I think Russia arrested her as a way of giving America a slap in the face. She doesn’t deserve jail time, but she’s in Russia, and has to abide by Russia’s rules.
The sorry old goat is willing to trade because she checks three privilege boxes. (Which get you nowhere in Russia).
HA HA HA , they want demented, pedophile, crap in his pants Biden to grovel. Putin says FJB!.
They ought to pipe in the Star Spangled Banner in her cell 24/7 until she goes nuts.
What should be the reaction if the ‘Russian mercenary’ does the grave crime in your country? Ever heard a broken windows theory? That is how lawlessness starts.
She did the crime, she should do the time. Putin would do well to avoid a poisonous trade like that.
Possession of $20 worth of weed is not a grave crime in Russia, Sergey.
The usual process is that the police will confiscate it, smoke it himself and maybe demand a small bribe.
Of course you already knew it all and are just pretending.
How stupid can you be to break drug laws in Russia.
Please, oh please, Russia, keep the bitch.
I’m just delighted that the Bidsen administration prioritizes really, really important things such as helping celebrity athletes who act badly over lesser thngs...like closing our border.
Something tells me Moochelle is pushing hard behind the scenes for the release of a fellow black lesbian. As one of Biden’s string pullers she will agree to any demand from Putin - knowing that Biden will get the full blame for ‘caving’ to Putin.
I’m rooting for the Russians on this. Keep her in their jail.
She/he/it should consider it a favor since she hates this racist country.
And “she” has reportedly traveled a lot in Russia and knew the rules. Maybe, Putin will eventually expose OTHER facts .
At least until the midterms have been completed, at any rate. Right now, I’m pretty sure that Putin is thinking in political terms at this juncture, and he has decided inaction is the best action to take.
Sheheit has regularly traveled in Russia it turns out...
“She did the crime, she should do the time.”
That’s so yesterday! Especially here in the US of A.
Speaks volumes that the State Dept. has yet to open negotiations for a cease fire in Ukraine but is negotiating for the return of a pot smoking lesbian.
Brandon was spot on when he proclaimed that, “Putin doesn’t want me to be elected...he doesn’t want to have to deal with me.”
He’s correct. Brandon is a laughing stock, and Putin is laughing his ass off.
You are correct. I’m waiting for the Russians to put him in a male gulag and let the inmates have at it.
Yes, she is a dumbass. That’s why the Russians picked her. They want their propaganda hostages to have a shady past. She is perfect for it having badmouthed America before and now wishing to be saved.
Same with Whealan. He was a POG with a Bad Conduct discharge after stealing money from the USMC and forging a letter recommending himself for the Legion of Merit.
Russians wouldn’t want their hostages to be all American heroes. They pick these kinds of (very) imperfect people on purpose.
