"I want to dedicate this title to Ukraine and to all of the people who are fighting and dying right now."
"I want to dedicate this title to Ukraine and to all of the people who are fighting and dying right now."
"It is obvious that any neutral flag of Russian athletes is stained with blood."
"For me, it's just not worth it. It's not the same for every player, but I had to look at I have a family now."
"I have been in prison for 10 months now, listening to Russian. I want to talk."
"To care for another, a stranger to some, a friend to some— is humanity in its purest form."
"I need Brittney Griner home before Christmas."
As per the U.S. government, the Russian government only recently admitted to moving Griner to a maximum-security penal colony, and did so weeks after making that move.
"I think it’s truly unfair. She doesn’t deserve this at all."
A prisoner swap “would undoubtedly send a positive signal that not everything is so hopeless in Russian-US relations.”
“Unfortunately, so far the Russian Federation has not provided a serious response to those proposals.”
