"My hope is, now that the election is over, that Mr. Putin will be able to discuss with us and be willing to talk more seriously about prisoner exchange," Biden told reporters at a press conference. "My intention is to get her home," he added. He was speaking hours after Griner's legal team revealed she has been transferred to a penal colony and her location is unknown. Biden's Democratic Party performed better than expected in the midterms this week. In July, the Biden administration proposed a prisoner swap with Russia to secure Griner's release, as well as that of former U.S. Marine Paul Whelan who is also jailed there, but said Moscow had yet to respond positively. Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, was arrested at a Moscow airport shortly before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February. Some of her vape cartridges contained cannabis oil, which is banned in Russia, and she was sentenced to nine years in a penal colony. She says she made an "honest mistake" and had not meant to break the law. 3:21AM Russia has probably committed crimes against humanity by forcibly transferring Ukrainian civilians in Russian-occupied areas of the country to other regions, Amnesty International said on Thursday. It said civilians were moved from occupied Ukraine further into Russian-controlled areas or into Russia, with children separated from their families in violation of international humanitarian law. Amnesty said it had been told by civilians they had endured "abusive screening processes" - known as filtration - which sometimes resulted in arbitrary detention, torture and other ill-treatment. "Separating children from their families and forcing people hundreds of kilometres from their homes are further proof of the severe suffering Russia's){kind=link}
“Well over” 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the war in Ukraine, according to the US’s top army general.
“Same thing probably on the Ukrainian side,” said Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Wednesday. “There has been a tremendous amount of suffering, human suffering.”
An estimated 40,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed or wounded and anywhere between 15 million and 30 million Ukrainians have been displaced, he added.
The UN refugee chief recently put the figure at 14 million.
