Overseas Network, August 19th. According to a number of media reports such as Reuters, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ivan Nechayev said on the 18th that Russia is exchanging "silent diplomacy" with the U.S. potential prisoner exchange. The exchanges include the American women's basketball star Brittney Griner.

When talking about the US midterm election, Nechayev said: "'Silent Diplomacy' is in progress. If the United States does the same, it should be achieved, instead of promoting it through media hype, in order to promote it before the mid -term election in November Score."

Since the end of July, U.S. government officials and media have frequently mentioned the use of Russian merchant Victor Bott to exchange Grina and a 16 -year -old American Paul Huilan who had been imprisoned by Russia. Unlike the anxious attitude of the United States, Russia said that it can be negotiated, but it must be carried out in specific channels and reasonable ways. Russian experts said on August 7 that the US government proposed to change prison at this time, but to obtain political dividends in the mid -November election. (Overseas Network Yao Kaihong)
