Reed was sentenced to nine years in prison in Russia and was charged with assault in 2020. He has recently been traded for Konstantin Yaroshenko, who is a pilot from Russia. Yaroshenko was put behind bars in the U.S. for over 10 years on account of smuggling drugs.

Reed’s “safe return is a testament to the priority my Administration places on bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad”, President Joe Biden said.

Trevor Reed’s release is now drawing attention to the imprisonment of Brittney Griner, who is also jailed in Russia on being found carrying hashish oil in her luggage. For those who don’t know, Griner is an American professional basketball player. She plays for the Phoenix Mercury or the Women’s National Basketball Association.

Griner’s wife, Cherelle Griner, said on Instagram that her “heart is overflowing with joy for The Reed Family. I do not personally know them, but I do the pain of having your loved one detained in a foreign country. That level of pain is constant and can only be remediated by a safe return home. For the Reed family, that day is today.”
