If Brittney Griner has established anything (apart from her athletic prowess and criminality), it is that she has no loyalty to anything, and is willing to go anywhere for money. These qualities are actually in demand in certain circles within the de facto Russian justice system, and might in fact be the key to BG's immediate release and proximate return to the razor's edge, high-dollar world of WNBA basketball.
Wagner Group is recruiting convicted criminals, openly and notoriously so, and BG is like their lost soul sister from another mother. Her personal qualities establish her as the recruiters' spiritual clone. With the slightest effort at communication, she should easily be able to make the draft and be out this very day, and on her way to combat in Ukraine. Six months, right? And that's the worst case, assuming she doesn't stab the mercenaries in the back too, and renegotiate with the Ukrainians for an early surrender at the moment her fellow mercenaries are counting on her for critical fire support. Then (six months or earlier betrayal) she is out of court and back on the court. I don't know who she hired to represent her, but the play is so obvious even a senile old lawyer from Delaware could see it. Probably. Possibly, anyhow, and in any event, it is the quick and certain way to accomplish her goals without all this diplomacy or having to count on the United States stuff.
But it may be time-limited. If Putin has one of those accidents like so many of his friends and supporters, the shot could be gone and the deal could be off the table. BG better jump on it while she can.
