 Bout says Griner ‘wanted to shake my hand’ on airport tarmac
by Olafimihan Oshin - 12/11/22 9:27 PM ET

Viktor Bout, the convicted Russian arms dealer who was a part of the U.S.-Russia prisoner for WNBA star Brittney Griner, said the star athlete “wanted to shake” his hand as they were passing each other on the Abu Dhabi airport tarmac. 

In an interview with Russian state media outlet RT published Saturday, Bout said he wished Griner good luck and she extended her hand to him. 

“She wanted to shake my hand,” Bout told RT in the interview. “You could feel that she was really positive.”

“Again, it’s our tradition. You should wish everyone good fortune and happiness,” Bout added, according to Reuters. 

An video circulated by Russian media last week showed both Griner and Bout walking past each other, with one of the three men accompanying Griner going over to shake hands and hug Bout as both parties went their separate ways.

Well, they both have something in common. They both want the humbling and downfall of America.
