Former U.S.

Marine Trevor Reed welcomed

home after release from Russian prison

U.S. Marine veteran Trevor Reed was welcomed home

following his release from a prison in Russia where he had
been detained since 2019.
Photos shared by U.S. House Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas,
show Reed with his family, who has waged a public fight for
his release, and the lawmaker at the Kelly Field airport in San
Antonio, Texas.
Reed was released Wednesday in a brokered prisoner swap.
Reed was accused of assaulting a Russian officer and
sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison. Reed and his
family have maintained his innocence and the U.S.
government has described him as unjustly imprisoned.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited

the Kyiv suburbs of Bucha and Irpin, where Russian forces
have been accused of committing atrocities.
“I imagine my family, in one of those houses,” he told
reporters while pointing to a charred building behind him. “I
see my granddaughters running away in panic. Part of the
family eventually killed,” he added.
“This horrific scenario demonstrates something that is
unfortunately always true, that civilians always pay the highest
price. Innocent civilians were living in these buildings,”
Guterres said.
Earlier in the week, Guterres met with Russian President
Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
He is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelenskyy later on Thursday.
