The Biden Administration is stressing that conversations to get WNBA star Brittney Griner out of Russia haven't stopped.
Speaking to reporters, John Kirby said those talks are ongoing. He was reacting to remarks made by a Kremlin spokesman. Dmitry Peskov said a possible prisoner exchange needs to be negotiated in secret.
A Russian court this week upheld Griner's drug conviction and nine-year prison sentence.
