When WNBA basketball star Brittney Griner was jailed and sent to a
penal colony in Moscow last year, the US government got to work on
securing her release. But, a few days after she was detained by
Russian authorities, Putin invaded Ukraine. Suddenly, it became
complicated for the Americans to talk to the Russians in an
official capacity. But luckily for Griner, they weren’t the only
ones on the case. One Decision sits down with former American
Ambassador Cameron Hume, who worked on the small team that traveled
to Moscow to directly deal with the Kremlin themselves, on behalf
of Griner’s and other detained Americans’ families.
