{O/C} President Joe Biden has met with the families of WNBA star Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan, both detained in Russia.

In a statement the White House said the President cemented his commitment to bringing Brittney and Paul home, no matter the hurdles.
Still, the meetings didn't indicate any breakthroughs in the expected prisoner swap with Russia for their respective release.
Griner, who was sentenced last month to nine months' imprisonment, has been in Russian clutches ever since February on drug-related charges.
This, while Whelan is serving his 16-year prison sentence for espionage.
