The lawyer noted the improvement in the health of the Russian Bout in an American prison

“Recently, it (the state of health. -

) has improved,” TASS quotes him as saying.

Zissou added that the defense side is satisfied with the improvement in Bout's condition.

Earlier, CNN, citing sources, reported that US President Joe Biden supported a plan to exchange Bout for American basketball player Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.

Later, the wife of businessman Victor Bout, convicted in the United States, Alla, in a conversation with RT, expressed the hope that the statements of the American authorities about the possible exchange of a Russian for US citizens Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan would not turn out to be empty words.
