The U.S. Marine veteran was freed from Russian prison in a prisoner swap last year. Now he has sustained an injury while fighting in Ukraine, the State Department said.
Reed had been held in Russia since 2019. He was exchanged for pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring to import cocaine into the U.S.
Reed's family says he has tuberculosis symptoms and lost 7 pounds in five days during a hunger strike. They are calling for the Biden administration to help bring the Marine veteran home.
Trevor Reed started his second hunger strike in Russian prison after being sent to solitary confinement instead of getting treatment for tuberculosis. His parents want to meet with President Biden.
