“We are ready to study this issue within the framework of the channel agreed by Putin and Biden,” Lavrov said at a press conference in Cambodia’s Phnom Penh when answering a question about a possible prisoner swap between Russia and the US, according to the official Russian news agency TASS.
Lavrov’s remarks come a day after U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner was sentenced to nine years in prison for drug possession and smuggling, and after White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said a “substantive offer” had been made to “bring her home,” after which she urged Russia to accept it.
