Terrible Brittney Griner News Stuns Her Supporters Shortly After Glimmer of Hope

Fans of WNBA star Brittney Griner are stunned by recent reports about the stance of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the whole ordeal. Despite the continuous efforts of the U.S. government, there have been no improvements on the situation. Recently, Griner’s wife, Cherelle stated that her spouse can only be back if Putin shows “mercy.” But it looks like that is out of the question now. As per reports, the basketball star’s release is not a priority for the Kremlin. And this report comes from a Russian official who is a close aide to Putin reportedly.

Ushakov said, ?He keeps emphasizing the need to bring (Griner) back home ? however, it?s not the main issue that we are concerned about.?

With Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine, the situation of the basketball star is seemingly not a priority for them.

The fresh reports would come as a huge blow for Griner and her family and friends.

Brittney Griner and Cherelle have been married since June 2019. They both went to Baylor University, however, they did not date during their time in school. Cherelle recently appeared for the bar exam. During the interview where she spoke about Putin, she also talked about her profession. ?I work in the legal field, I do believe a crime should warrant a punishment,? she said.

She believes Griner has already suffered enough for the alleged crime. And she wants people to understand that. It has been more than eight months since the arrest of the Phoenix Mercury star. Cherelle recently admitted she fears her spouse might not come back home soon.

President Joe Biden met Cherelle a while back at the Oval office. He reassured the efforts of the government to bring her spouse back to the country.
