Biden announced Greiner’s release in a White House speech later Thursday.
“After months of unjust detention in Russia, held in intolerable conditions, Britney will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones, and should have been there all along,” Biden said.
“This is a day we have worked hard for. We have never stopped calling for his release. It took careful and intense negotiations,” Biden added, thanking everyone involved in his release, as well as the UAE States, where the exchange took place.

The fact of the prisoner exchange was also confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, announcing that the exchange of Buta and Grainer took place on Thursday at the Abu Dhabi airport.
The Ministry claims that the Russian citizen has returned to his homeland.
In October, a Russian court rejected Greiner’s appeal. The basketball player has asked a Russian court to reduce her nine-year prison sentence on drug trafficking charges.
In 2011, former Soviet officer But was found guilty of smuggling weapons into the United States and served a 25-year prison sentence. Moscow has been asking for his release for years. Over the summer, the Biden administration offered to trade Butt for Greiner.
