The United States is continuing to discuss a deal with Russia to free Americans the Biden administration believes are wrongfully detained.
Elizabeth Rood, the U.S. charge d'affaires in Moscow, told Russian-state media RIA in a piece published on Monday that the U.S. has already “submitted a serious proposal for consideration” and “offered alternatives,” but still, “the Russian Federation has not provided a serious response to those proposals."
“I would like to emphasize that the main concern and the first priority of the U.S. Embassy is to ensure the well-being of the American citizens who are here. And the situation is not limited to the names of those who are mentioned in the media headlines — a number of American citizens are kept in Russian prisons,” she said. “We are extremely concerned about the condition of each of them, and we continue to follow their affairs very closely and support them in every possible way.
