Leading WNBA star Britteny Griner has reportedly been swapped for Russian Merchant of Death arms dealer Viktor Bout.
The star has been released from a Russian penal colony today, sparking joy from loved ones and fans in the country.
The Biden administration was able to go on striking the deal in a successful manner and managed to keep it under covers until the very last second that it was confirmed.
The high-profile case has really taken a shocking turn as it was met with criticism in the past with many who felt the star player should be punished for breaking the law on Russian land.
But it appears that Biden and his administration had other plans in mind as they’ve managed to carry out the swap successfully and that means Griner would soon be returning back to her homeland while the Kremlin prisoner would go back to Russia soon.
Sources claim that Saudi Crown Prince Salman was the one who served as the mediator for the deal’s completion. Just two days back, we saw an American lawsuit holding him responsible for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi being dropped.
Viktor Bout has been in US Prison for a while now because he reportedly sold weapons to the country’s adversaries around the globe.
Many Americans have been against the deal for a while now. They felt the arms sales details that he embarked upon has cost the lives of countless servicemen in the US.
Now, the news is being met with great anger by supporters of former US marine Paul Whelan. He is still in a Russian prison. And that’s why Republicans are bashing Biden and his administration for focusing on celebs instead of actual veterans.
