“She is very worried about what the price of that will be, and she is afraid that she will have to serve the whole sentence here in Russia.” “She has not been in as good condition as I could sometimes find her in,” he added of Griner's emotional struggles.Russia confirmed in August that it was negotiating with the U.S. about a potential prisoner exchange.
