William Burns meets his Russian counterpart in Turkey following continued nuclear threats from Moscow.
By Gordon Corera & Oliver SlowUS and Russian spy chiefs have met face-to-face to discuss Moscow's nuclear threat in Ukraine and American prisoners held "unjustly" by Russia.
His message was "on the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia," and the risk of "escalation to strategic stability," the White House said in a statement. The White House statement stressed that Mr Burns was not "conducting negotiations of any kind" and said Washington would "stick firmly to our fundamental principle: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine".
In late July, the Biden administration proposed a prisoner swap with Russia to secure Ms Griner's release, as well as that of ex-marine Paul Whelan, who Moscow accuses of spying.
