A former U.S. Marine who was freed from Russian custody via a prisoner exchange negotiated by the Biden administration in 2022 has been injured while fighting against Russian forces in Ukraine, a Biden administration official told The Daily Beast.
The Marine, Trevor Reed, is in Germany receiving medical attention following his injury, the official said. He traveled there with the support of an NGO.
Trevor Reed, who spent more than two years wrongfully detained in Russia, reportedly pleaded for help once again after injuring himself in battle in Ukraine, according to The Messenger, which first reported the news. Reed reportedly requested help from the U.S. government after stepping on a landmine about two weeks ago.
