After being freed last year in a prisoner exchange with Russia, Trevor Reed is injured in Ukraine.
A US man who was jailed by Russia for nearly three years before being released in a 2022 prisoner swap has been injured while fighting in Ukraine.
"We have been incredibly clear that traveling to Ukraine, choosing to participate in the fighting there, has a very real risk of capture, of death, of bodily harm, and that continues to be our assessment," Mr Patel said. In 2019, Mr Reed was convicted in Russia of fighting with police officers while on a drunken night out.
