While the US got a basketball player that can't stop being high for too long to not risk a foriegn prison.

Apparently, the US also wanted an ex-marine but looks like he was left to rot for the virtue signal. I doubt Viktor's contacts are still active after nearly a decade but it's more showing that being loyal to Russia means they will get you back eventually is good PR for them.

Sanctions and embargoes
