The Russian Foreign Ministry told about the transfer of American prisoners to the United States

“We can literally solve the situation with our compatriots who are serving breathtaking sentences in the United States.

If the Americans agree to use the mechanism of the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, we are ready to hand over their citizens to the Americans, ”Ryabkov said in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper.

He noted that Whelan is not mentioned in the lists and this issue is now "out of the question".

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an exclusive interview with NBC, commented on the possibility of a prisoner exchange between Russia and the United States.
