RUSSIA has released U.S prisoner Trevor Reed in a surprise chain of events that has seen Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko freed in return.

In a surprise prisoner swap – former U.S. marine Trevor Reed, who was detained in Russia since 2019, has been released.

Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko - who was serving a 20-year sentence in the United States for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine – was released in return.

The swap, which U.S. officials have said was the result of months of hard and careful work, comes as U.S.-Russia relations are at their worst in decades.

Officials said the talks that led to Reed’s release strictly focused on securing his freedom… and was not the start of a broader diplomatic conversation.

President Joe Biden did not comment on details of the release, but said (quote) "The negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly."

Why if you commit crimes in other country, your country will help you to be released but in your own country if you commit crimes punishment will be served.

The exchange of prisoners is a humanitarian that must be done so that they can be free to return home.

I watched yesterday the interview of the Russian pilot and he is planning to take to court for the Liberian government. As for the US he said he didn't believe in human rights any more. The interesting part of the interview was when he motioned that the US promised him a citizenship and will bring his wife and his daughter if he lies about some ( Russian ) he has never mate in life. He was in prison for about 10 years I am happy for both of them, They were trapped for nothing.

в США, если бы при задержании кто-то бил копа в полицейской машине - его бы нафаршировали бы свинцом

Если б он напился и подрался с полицейским у себя на родине, то вполне бы мог быть застрелен...

That was a bad trade let him serve in prison since he is a convict and release someone constructive.

No matter what country, you attack/lift your hands to police officers - the law/legal process will be extremely tough!

If this was a Russian attacking a police officer in the USA it will be exactly the same … if you can’t handle your liquor stay at home buddy … marine or no marine!

Attacking police officers results in a heavy price to pay. Be it in Russia or USA or any other countries. Don't try to manipulate people that this guy is innocent. He must face the law and face the charges.
