Talks for prisoner-swap do not signify end of Russia-US diplomatic crisis, says Kremlin
MOSCOW (AA) – Talks between Russia and the US on the exchange of prisoners were not a step towards overcoming the crisis in bilateral relations, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
“These talks were exclusively about the prisoner exchange, it is wrong to draw any such hypothetical conclusions that this may be a step towards overcoming the crisis that we currently have in bilateral relations. No, bilateral relations continue to remain in such a grave state,” Peskov said.
In a high-profile prisoner swap, US WNBA star Brittney Griner was freed on Friday in exchange for Viktor Bout, a Russian, who was incarcerated in the US.
