As to her status as a VIP, I had never heard of her until all the hoopla over her arrest and conviction. Of course I cannot speak for others, especially Putin. lol
BTW, She was arrested on 2/17/22. Russia did not invade Ukraine until 2/24/22. Of course Russian troops were amassing on the border for some time before the actual invasion which we all understand was likely planned for some time.

The timing of Brittany being searched only means that Putin knew he was going to invade the Ukraine and he had an opportunity to imprison a well-known US sports figure as a hostage and propaganda tool against the US. Brittany played basketball in Russia (and was a fan favorite) for YEARS with no problems because US and Russian tension was LOW. Now that tension is HIGH she is taken as a VALUABLE hostage.
