The Brittney Griner saga has been going on for months now. Even the President of the United States and his government have been involved now and they have been negotiating with the Russian authorities. Reports suggest that the government is committed to getting Griner back home safe and sound. And they even showed that they are behind them by inviting Griner’s wife to meet with President Joe Biden.

A few months ago, the government released a statement that they are in contact with Russia. According to reports, they have even offered a prisoner swap program for Griner and another American citizen who is in prison in Russia. It was also reported that the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, had a conversation with his Russian counterpart, foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.
