Trevor Reed, who was released in U.S.-Russia swap in 2022, injured while fighting in Ukraine

BREAKING: Trevor Reed, a Marine veteran freed in a U.S.-Russia prisoner swap, was injured fighting in Ukraine, sources say.

U.S. Marine Corps veteran Trevor Reed, who was released in a prisoner swap with Russia brokered by the Biden administration in 2022, was injured recently while fighting for Ukraine in the east of that country, CBS News has learned.

The Biden administration is aware of Reed's injury in Ukraine and his travel to Germany for treatment. An administration official said in a statement,"I want to be clear here: Mr. Reed was not engaged in any activities on behalf of the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government has been extraordinarily explicit in warning Americans not to travel to Ukraine, let alone to participate in fighting there.

"The United States is not able to provide assistance to evacuate U.S. citizens from Ukraine, including those Americans who may decide to travel to Ukraine to participate in the ongoing war," the official said.
