Blinken said the United States had developed a plan to exchange two US citizens convicted in Russia – Paul Whelan, who was detained on suspicion of espionage, and Brittney Griner, a WNB star imprisoned for drug possession.
Greiner and Whelan intend to exchange for arms dealer Viktor Bout, who is serving a 25-year sentence in the United States for supporting terrorism.
It is this plan that will be the main topic of the conversation between Blinken and Lavrov, which will take place in the “next days.”
At the same time, according to Axios, the parties also want to discuss an agreement on “grain corridors”, which was agreed between Turkey, the UN, Russia and Ukraine.
