Viktor Bout, a Russian arms dealer who was sentenced to 25 years in the United States, speaks to the media prior to an opening ceremony of the exhibition of his artworks at the Mosfilm studio in Moscow, Russia, Tuesday, March 7, 2023. Bout was arrested in 2008 in a U.S. sting operation in Thailand for offering to sell surface-to-air missiles to men masquerading as Colombian rebels. He was extradited to the United States, convicted and sentenced to 25 years. In December 2022, the U.S. released Bout in a prisoner swap for WNBA star Brittney Griner jailed in Russia.
