Trevor Reed, a former Marine from Texas, has been released from a Russian jail as part of a prisoner exchange with the U.S.
The Russian foreign ministry said the exchange of Reed and Yaroshenko was “a result of a long negotiation process.”
The two prisoners were swapped in a European country. Though officials would not say where the transfer took place, in the hours before it happened commercial flight trackers identified a plane belonging to Russia’s federal security service as flying to Ankara, Turkey. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons also updated its website overnight to reflect that Yaroshenko was no longer in custody.
The prisoner swap marks the highest-profile release during the Biden administration of an American deemed wrongly detained abroad and comes even as families of detainees who have met over the last year with administration officials had described them as cool to the idea of an exchange. Emilly Caldwell with the Washington bureau of the Dallas Morning News shares the latest on veteran Marine Trevor Reed who remains jailed in Russia on what U.S. officials have called preposterous charges.
