WNBA star Brittney Griner is likely face ten years in a Russian prison after his arrests at an airport near Moscow by custom officials who found vape cartridges that contained cannabis oil in her luggage.
Marca reported that the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stressed that their embassy in Russia is working on the matter in the United States’ bid to avoid a diplomatic crisis between the two countries amidst Russia’s conflict with Ukraine.
“There’s only so much I can say given the privacy considerations at this point,” he said.
“Whenever an American is detained anywhere in the world, we of course stand ready to provide every possible assistance, and that includes in Russia.
“We have an embassy team that’s working on the cases of other Americans who are detained in Russia.
“We’re doing everything we can to see to it that their rights are upheld and respected.”
