The Russian government on April 27 released jailed former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed in exchange for a Russian pilot, according to the White House and Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Today, we welcome home Trevor Reed and celebrate his return to the family that missed him dearly. Trevor, a former U.S. Marine, is free from Russian detention,” President Joe Biden said in a statement on April 27. “I heard in the voices of Trevor’s parents how much they’ve worried about his health and missed his presence. And I was delighted to be able to share with them the good news about Trevor’s freedom.”
