Russian deputy foreign minister: no new signals on US prisoner swap - Interfax

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Friday that there had been no new signals on a potential prisoner exchange with the United States, Interfax reported.

Russia said in August it was ready to discuss a prisoner swap involving Brittney Griner, a U.S. basketball star who was jailed for a drugs offense in Russia in August, but neither side has reported progress since then.
