Athletistic / Basketball. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has discussed the possible exchange of American basketball player Brittney Griner. The day before, she had been sentenced to 9 years in prison for drug trafficking. Earlier, it was reported that US authorities could trade Russian Viktor Bout for her, who was convicted of arms trafficking.

“There is a special channel agreed upon by the presidents. If Americans continue to use public diplomacy and make loud statements, then that is their business. I would even say their problems.”

Americans most often do not resist agreements on calm and professional work. We are ready to discuss the exchange, but within the framework of the channel agreed by the presidents,” Lavrov told the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
