The United States announced its focus on successful negotiations with Russia on the exchange of prisoners

“The return of Brittney (Greiner. - 

) and Paul Whelan to their homeland is a priority for the current administration,” TASS quotes her.

According to the official, the US administration will continue the dialogue with Russia on the topic of the prisoner exchange.

Last week, US President Joe Biden said that there were no prospects of holding any talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the moment, but he would not mind discussing the issue of prisoners with his Russian counterpart.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced his readiness to discuss the exchange of prisoners with the United States, but only through a special channel approved by the presidents of states.
