Britney Griner released 12-08-2022

So this is from a tweet cited by Fox News, reporting on the NBC mistake. It doesn't really read logically to me the way it's worded. It establishes the administration tried to secure the release of both Griner and Whelan, acknowledges that Russia is treating Whelan differently, but then asserts that the choice was either of them or none. Does that make sense or does it seem more likely it was somehow miscommunicated and the choice was, in fact, Griner or nobody?

Eh, they could "treat" him differently but still offer him up if they wanted to.

Russians, man. They don't make sense.
