9. nothing I read answers the question about why she went to Russia

Dec 2022

when we were hearing about Russia preparing to invade Ukraine every day.

I have read that she had a long time contract- since 2017- playing for a team owned by an oligarch. And that it was a well paid position. But sanctions on oligarchs had been imposed, and there were nothing but warnings about the need for Americans to get out of Russia. Starting well before she was unfairly arrested.

I do not really understand your need to be gruff with me.

I am still worried about people getting used as pawns by authoritarians as bargaining chips.
