Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout said on Friday it was difficult to find the words to describe his feelings, in an interview with the state-run news outlet RT after being freed by the United States in exchange for U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner.
Bout also said he had not encountered much anti-Russian sentiment during his imprisonment in the United States, and that many of his fellow prisoners had sympathies with Moscow.
