Female basketball star Brittney Griner has finally been freed from a Russian prison, with the US sending notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout the other way.
Griner has been detained in Russia since February after she was accused of bringing cannabis oil in her luggage to a Moscow airport. United States officials have been actively trying to get her out of the country, and have finally done so on Thursday.
The negotiation was given final approval by president Joe Biden this week, and reportedly the swap was completed in United Arab Emirates. Biden has since confirmed that he has spoken to Griner, and that she is safe and on a plane.
