Russia and the U.S. have swapped prisoners, securing the release of former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed. Reed was jailed in 2020 on assault charges stemming from a drunken night out in Moscow the previous year. Russia's Foreign Ministry said he was released after a "lengthy negotiation process" in exchange for Russian national Konstantin Yaroshenko, who has been jailed for more than a decade in the U.S. on drug smuggling charges.
Reed's family released a statement confirming his release, saying their "prayers have been answered and Trevor is safely on his way back to the United States."
The White House released a statement in which President Joe Biden said he had informed the family of Reed's freedom.
