The Russian government’s failure to seriously negotiate on these issues in the established channel, or any other channel for that matter, runs counter to its public statements.”
 Brittney Griner has been moved to the Russian Penal Colony, where prisoners are forced into hard labor and often abused. Griner’s family is confident that the Biden administration is working to bring the Griner back home. But they know it’s a complicated process and is trying to stay level-headed.
