Roger Carstens and Brittney Griner chatted for the entirety of the 10-hour flight, an experience that encapsulated her humanity and was a striking phenomenon to see for someone in captivity for nearly a year, Carstens said.
She waited 10 months to see a friendly face. When she finally did, she wanted to talk.
“I was left with the impression that this is an intelligent, passionate, compassionate, humble, interesting person,” he said. “A patriotic person, but, above all, authentic. I hate the fact that I had to meet her in this manner, but I actually felt blessed having had a chance to get to know her.” He said efforts to secure his release were still ongoing, describing the American approach as “exciting and interesting,” but he refused to explain what the exact approach was.
