Biden administration officials met virtually on Monday with Elizabeth Whelan, whose brother Paul Whelan remains detained in Russia, to discuss “next steps of the strategy” to bring him home. Elizabeth Whelan described the 45-minute-long meeting as a chance to regroup on her brother’s case, and said she was able to share her thoughts and ideas about moving forward to try to get him home.
“As President Biden said directly to the Whelan family, and as senior officials working on this case said directly to Paul, we have not forgotten him and we will continue to pursue every avenue for his release,” the State Department spokesperson said. The Whelan family, including Paul himself, have expressed happiness at the release of two other wrongfully detained Americans – Griner last week and Trevor Reed in April.
