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.

The amount and the penalty you state are irrelevant, the simple FACT is that she broke Russian law.

She knew that bringing drugs into Russia was ILLEGAL, she just ASSUMED (and we know what happens when a person assumes) that she was “SPECIAL”, after all HE/SHE/IT gets treated as some type of royalty or a god in the US because of IT’S sexuality/color/athletic ability!

Well guess what sweetheart; THIS IS RUSSIA, not the USA!

YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS as a NON-CITIZEN and some dude named MIRANDA DON’T LIVE IN MOSCOW!

Blinken thinks Russia gives a fig about this?

Hello, Lavrov is busy signing up partners for the SCO, forgiven debt to some major countries, hawking the anti colonialism stance of SCO, and BRICS, and, with China is creating a new reserve currency.
We are so out of the reality loop on foreign diplomacy.
