BRITTNEY GRINER'S FAMILY EXPRESSES GRATITUDE TO BIDEN, OFFERS PRAYERS FOR PAUL
WHELAN'S RETURN

From CNN's Abby Phillip

Brittney Griner's family expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden and his
administration "for the tireless work they did to bring Brittney home" in a
statement released Thursday night.

The statement added:

> "We sincerely thank you all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers –
> including Paul and the Whelan family who have been generous with their support
> for Brittney and our family during what we know is a heartbreaking time. We
> pray for Paul and for the swift and safe return of all wrongfully-detained
> Americans. 
> "We ask that you respect our privacy as we embark on this road to healing."

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WEIGHING SOME OTHER KIND OF OFFER TO SECURE WHELAN'S
RETURN, OFFICIAL SAYS

From CNN's Kylie Atwood and Jennifer Hansler

The Biden administration has ideas about “new forms of offers” it is going to
try with the Russians in an effort to secure American Paul Whelan’s release, a
senior administration official said. 

The official said there is a recognition that the US needs to make available
“something more, something different” from what it has offered thus far. 

This position comes as Whelan told CNN the administration would have to look at
what it has "that these people want, and hopefully give it to them, or I'll be
here for a long time.”

Russia views Whelan as a spy, the administration official explained, which means
it puts him in a different category. The official didn’t rule out the US
offering a Russian spy in US custody. 

> “There is a willingness to pay even a very big price on the part of this
> president,” the official said. “We have made clear to the Russians that we at
> least are open to talking about that which is at our disposal, that which we
> could actually deliver. It would be somebody in our custody.”

FORMER GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON SAYS BIDEN MADE RIGHT DECISION ON GRINER SWAP

From CNN's Mary Kay Mallonee

Former Gov. Bill Richardson, who worked to help secure the release of Brittney
Griner from Russia, said President Joe Biden made the right decision on the
prisoner swap.

Richardson and his namesake foundation privately work on behalf of families of
American hostages and detainees being held overseas.

> He told CNN he did not reveal any behind-the-scenes details of the
> negotiations for Griner’s release but said, “We were hoping for a two-for-two,
> Paul Whelan and Brittney for [Viktor] Bout and another Russian, but at the
> end, I think the geopolitical differences, the bad relationship between Russia
> and the United States, Russia said we’ll do one for one, and I think the
> president was right to go ahead with Brittney Griner, get her home to her
> family, to her father, to her wife.”

“We now have to concentrate on Paul Whelan,” Richardson said. “I think we have
to make an effort to get him out before the end of the year.”

Richardson expressed frustration over failed efforts to bring Whelan home. 

“We have tried, my foundation, for four years to get Whelan out and somehow it
always falls short. We tried it during the Trump administration, early on in the
Biden administration and it seems at the very end, possibly because of the
espionage charge, because he’s a Marine .... he’s wrongfully detained, the
Russians hold on to him at the very end, and this is what happened again, but
that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a possibility that we can get him out. I
think we can," he said.

PUTIN DEFENDS ATTACKS ON UKRAINE INFRASTRUCTURE TARGETS. HERE ARE THE TOP
HEADLINES FROM TODAY

WNBA star Brittney Griner is on her way back to the US after being released from
Russian detention in a prisoner swap for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor
Bout. The swap did not include Paul Whelan, another American the State
Department has declared wrongfully detained. 

Meantime, Russia's war in Ukraine is far from over. Nearly 10 months after
his invasion of Ukraine began, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday
acknowledged that the conflict is “going to take a while."

Here are the top headlines today from the war:

 * Concerns at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant: A top Ukrainian official said his
   government is working with the UN's nuclear watchdog agency to create a
   security zone around the plant. But, Ukraine's state-owned nuclear company
   Energoatom claimed Russian forces had deployed new weapons at the facility. A
   spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry cast doubt on the prospects for
   an agreement earlier this week, saying, "The station is located on Russian
   territory and is fully controlled by Russia."
 * Explosions near a key southern port: Loud explosions and a fire were reported
   in the city of Berdiansk near the Sea of Azov. The city and port have been
   occupied by Russian forces since the early days of the conflict. Its port has
   previously been targeted by Ukrainian forces. The Ukrainian-appointed head of
   the city's military administration confirmed the explosions, though
   Russian-appointed officials there denied any attack.
 * Fighting in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions: Russian forces are holding their
   lines along the border between the Kharkiv and Luhansk regions and had
   shelled nearly a dozen settlements in the course of the day, the General
   Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said. Further south, the Donetsk front
   lines continue to see heavy Russian shelling in nearly 20 areas, according to
   the military.







 * Missiles hit Russian airfields: Ukraine's army has significantly streamlined
   its protocol for approving unmanned aerial vehicles and other weaponry,
   according to the country's defense minister. It comes days after
   Moscow accused Kyiv of drone strikes on air bases deep inside its territory.
   The defense minister explained that the previous process to approve one or
   two drones could take up to two years — but now, seven Ukrainian-made UAVs
   have been green-lit for operation over the past 30 days.
 * Race to repair Ukrainian energy grid: "Frost, rain with snow and strong wind"
   paired with continuing clashes are hindering repairs to Ukraine's power grid,
   as technicians race to get energy infrastructure damaged in weeks
   of relentless Russian strikes back up and running, according to state energy
   company Ukrenergo.
 * Putin comments on Russian attacks: The Russian president made rare public
   comments specifically addressing the attacks on Ukraine’s energy
   infrastructure. Putin, who ordered the invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, said
   of the war, “Yes, we are doing it. But who started it?” He listed a series of
   events he blames on the Ukrainians: “Who hit the Crimean bridge? Who blew up
   the power lines from the Kursk nuclear power plant?”

US CONCLUDED VIKTOR BOUT WAS NOT A SECURITY THREAT BEFORE BIDEN AGREED TO GRINER
DEAL, WHITE HOUSE SAYS

From CNN's MJ Lee

The Biden administration conducted a security assessment in the lead-up to the
deal to trade Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout and determined the convicted arms
dealer would not pose a threat to US security, a White House official told CNN. 

One reality that the assessment took into account, the person said, is the fact
that Bout has been in prison for over a decade and therefore has not been
actively engaged in any recent criminal activity. 

This kind of security assessment is typically made whenever the government is in
negotiations to try to bring home an American who is deemed to be wrongfully
detained abroad.

But, other than to say that the security assessment conducted on Bout was
“thorough,” the official would not elaborate on how the US was able to be
certain that the Russian arms dealer wouldn’t pose a future risk to the country.

Since news of the Griner-Bout swap became public, the administration has
confronted criticism and concerns regarding what Bout may do as a free
individual – and questions about the value of releasing such a notorious person.

Bout's 25-year sentence in the US was for conspiring to kill Americans, acquire
and export anti-aircraft missiles, and provide material support to a terrorist
organization. Bout has maintained he is innocent.

Earlier in the day, when asked whether a risk assessment had been conducted on
Bout, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters she would
not offer any details about what intelligence Biden was given about Bout.

"IT'S JOE BIDEN. WELCOME, WELCOME HOME": INSIDE THE OVAL OFFICE AS BRITTNEY
GRINER GAINED HER FREEDOM

From CNN's Phil Mattingly

In the days leading to Brittney Griner’s release, US officials grew increasingly
convinced it was no longer a matter of if, but when.

That reality was the driver behind an invitation to Brittney's wife Cherelle
Griner earlier this week to come to the White House early Thursday morning,
according to a senior administration official. 

The invitation was to meet with national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Biden’s
top national security official who had briefed Cherelle Griner several times
over the course of the nearly 10 months her wife had been detained in Russia.
The agenda was an update on a process that was clearly moving toward
resolution. 

By the time Cherelle Griner arrived at the White House, it was clear Brittney
Griner was on the verge of being released. She had been moved from the penal
colony where she’d been detained to Moscow. The final deal, one official
acknowledged, was clearly in its end game. 

As Cherelle Griner waited to meet with Sullivan, however, a change in venue
signaled what was about to happen. With no explanation, Griner was led back to
the Oval Office, where President Joe Biden was waiting. 

Biden delivered the first official confirmation that Brittney Griner was on her
way home, something he’d told aides he wanted to do himself. Shortly after,
advisers delivered the official notification to Biden and Cherelle Griner:
Brittany Griner was secure and in the hands of US officials. 

Biden then brought Cherelle Griner to a chair set up next to his at the Resolute
Desk. Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and
Sullivan stood nearby. 

Brittany Griner was then connected to the room by speaker phone — her first call
to her wife since she’d been freed. 

“It’s Joe Biden. Welcome, welcome home,” Biden said when the line connected,
according to the official. After a short conversation between the three, Biden
showed Cherelle to the private dining room, where she was able to continue the
call with her wife privately. 

Less than an hour later, the two stood side by side down the hall in the
Roosevelt Room. 

“She’s safe, she’s on a plane, she’s on her way home,” Biden announced.

PLANE CARRYING ARMS DEALER VIKTOR BOUT HAS ARRIVED IN MOSCOW, RUSSIAN STATE
MEDIA REPORTS

From CNN's Radina Gigova

lands in Moscow on December 8. (Tatyana Makeyeva/Reuters)



A plane carrying Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout landed in Moscow following a
prisoner swap for US basketball star Brittney Griner, according to Russian state
television channel Russia 24.

Bout's wife and mother were waiting and hugged him as soon as he walked off the
plane, Russia 24 footage shows.

The channel earlier released video of Bout boarding a plane, getting a quick
medical check and calling his family.

Bout told a reporter in Moscow he learned that he'd be returning to his native
country in the middle of the night – and that he "didn't even get to say goodbye
to anyone."

"They simply woke me up and said, 'Get your things together' and that was it,"
he recalled. "There was no preliminary information."

Griner is expected to land in San Antonio, Texas, Thursday but the exact timing
is unclear.

Who is Viktor Bout? Bout, nicknamed the “Merchant of Death” by his accusers, is
a former Soviet military officer who was serving a 25-year sentence in the US on
various charges, including conspiring to kill Americans.

You can read more about the convicted arms dealer here.

This post has been updated with comments from Bout to Russian media.

GRINER LAWYER SAYS THERE WERE POSITIVE SIGNS IN THE LAST WEEK CONCERNING HER
POSSIBLE RELEASE

Maria Blagovolina speaks to CNN's Jake Tapper about Griner's release. (CNN)



One of Brittney Griner's lawyers in Russia, Maria Blagovolina, said there were
indications last week that something was happening in relation to her possible
release.

> "There were signs. There were positive signs, I would say, which appeared
> last week, and I got a call from Brittney at the end of last week and she told
> me that she's hopeful. So we had an understanding that things would be
> happening very, very soon," Blagovolina told CNN's Jake Tapper.

She noted that the weeks since Griner was transferred to a new detention
facility in Mordovia had been very stressful for the basketball star as she'd
also caught the flu.

"This is not a holiday resort. This is jail, and the conditions there are really
harsh, and that's true. But what I can say for sure, that Brittney has not
complained and was treated very well – and I think that the reason for this is
mostly because of her very likable character. People like her," Blagovolina
said. "So everybody who is around her just is trying to help her, to support
her." 

The lawyer added that the support Griner received from people in the US had
helped her remain strong over the past nine months.
