Overseas Network, August 19th. According to Reuters and other media reports, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ivan Nechayev said on the 18th that Russia is conducting "silent diplomacy" with the United States on potential prisoner exchanges, and the exchanged persons include American women's basketball star Brittney Griner. Speaking of the US midterm elections, Nechaev said: "'Silent diplomacy' is in progress. If the US does the same, it should achieve results, rather than hype through media to score before the November midterm elections.

html Since the end of July, U.S. government officials and media have frequently mentioned exchanging Russian businessman Victor Butt for Grina and Paul Whelan, an American sentenced to 16 years in prison by Russia for espionage. Unlike the anxious attitude of the United States, Russia said it can negotiate, but it must be carried out in specific channels and reasonable ways. Russian experts said on August 7 that the US government proposed to replace prisoners at this time just to obtain political dividends in the November midterm elections.
