'He's obviously disappointed, but just like us, we see that we have to look forward,' Elizabeth Whelan told NBC10 Boston. 'There's no point in gnashing our teeth over what's just happened.'
The Russian government was not interested in negotiating over Whelan, who was arrested in 2018 on espionage charges.."Sadly, for totally illegitimate reasons, Russia is treating Paul's case differently than Britney's."
Griner was accused by the Russian government of drug trafficking with less than a gram of cannabis oil. "As he gets older, as this sentence progresses — he's 52 now — it's going to be harder and harder for him to put up with the conditions," Elizabeth Whelan said. She told NBC Boston that she felt Biden was committed to bringing her brother home. She is optimistic he will leave Russia before his release date in about 12 years.
