Russia has released former United States Marine Trevor Reed in a high-profile prisoner exchange with the U.S. following nearly three years of detention in Moscow. Reed was convicted in 2020 on charges of endangering Russian police officers, which he and American officials strongly disputed. In return, Washington released Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was serving a 20-year federal sentence for drug smuggling. The exchange was carried out in Turkey after months of diplomatic negotiations, representing a rare moment of bilateral cooperation amidst heightened geopolitical tensions.
- Former U.S. Marine Trevor Reed was released from Russian custody after being detained in Moscow since August 2019.
- Reed had been serving a nine-year sentence for allegedly assaulting police officers, charges he and U.S. authorities rejected.
- In exchange, the United States freed Russian pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko, who was convicted in 2011 for conspiracy to smuggle cocaine.
- The prisoner swap was facilitated in Turkey following discrete diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Moscow.
- U.S. officials indicated that efforts remain active to secure the release of other American citizens detained in Russia.

Russia never does anything for free. What secret political deal was made behind closed doors?
1:35 Dw has jumped the shark with hosting this guy 😂😂😂
5:00 wait are they arguing that an American president shouldn’t of fought to get back an American citizen from an adversary??
trump russian puppet
Мистер писатель, вам требуется психиатрическая помощь, в специализированном учреждении, на постоянной основе. Шизофрения не изличима. Ну а журналистам тв компании пожелаю получать всё больше американских грантов. Такими темпами вранья обо всём, вы вообще всех своих зрителей разгоните.
I'd say sentence for getting drunk and fighting police was a bit extreme
Most likely that's why the pardon
If Putin had said "nyet" to Trump's request, Trump would have likely taken it as a personal insult. As far as Trump assaulting NATO, that was because EU member countries were not contributing their fair share of their required minimum economic burden. Subsequently, the EU has been cajoled into accelerating monetary and military defenses. As for the commentator, he sounds more of a political leftist than a historian. In 2016, candidate Trump was challenged by Senator Hillary Clinton during a Presidential debate about how he manipulated/used bankruptcy law. Trump responded, by pointing the finger back at her, and said that it was Congress that makes the law, and that if she did not like it she should act to change it. However, she won't, because her colleagues also benefited from it. JUST SAYING…
Maybe because if he died they’d look bad??????????????
Strange that now the USA has asked Ukraine to stop hitting russian tankers
Do you believe anything the pathological lying president of the USA says? , just wait….the favour the Russians asked for will soon be apparent.
😂😂😂
This guest could do a lot better if he went on a long trip maybe alone in the saharah ?
No, actually all it took was rump making all of Putin's dreams come true after his bots and influencers got him elected.
I think such "experts" discredit DW.
Soon we will probably hear about a "new peace deal" Trump "came-up with".. one that forces Ukraine to cede not just Donbass, but another 30% of the country, plus, FULL demilitarisation and a "Russian-speaking" president for Ukraine.. oh, and Ukraine will have to "pay reparations" not only to Russia, but also to cover the costs of Iran war.. a "perfect deal" as the Orange One would say..
On a more serious note, Trump NEVER does ANYTHING for "free", so I've no doubt that him and Putin had some "unspoken understanding" of Trump getting fully behind Russia once again.. or, even more likely, Trump probably promised Putin to get his oil to foreign markets and forbid Ukraine from striking Russian tankers..
Remember when UsSA got that wall thingy torn down
US President Joe Biden was a Patriot.
So are leaders of Desh Drohi Janta Party

Opening a clip with a lie "the US is the biggest supporter of Ukraine" is an insult. Everybody knows that the US has stopped funding Ukraine long ago…..
"If i scratch your back, u do the same for me"
That's the context of pushers working together. That's how guy's can hold blocks . Political stuff is just street stuff but on a higher level.
I have never seen a disinformation channel like DW.
I'm not suprised I've seen the guy in charge up close & personal 1993 marla maples was very pregnant @ the time
Yes, it was a personal favor. He'll now be in charge of entrees at Mar a Lago.
Some hours after USA gave veto to Turkiye for sending cluster munitions to Ukraine 😂😂😂😂
putin has trump why to ask for more?
Putin And Trump are good friends
US is not the biggest supporter of Ukraine it's warmonger EU who thinks Ukraine will win
Putin wants nothing from USA in return for the exchange, but he wants "nothing" for Ukraine. No more rockets, no more bullets, no more tanks, no more this, no more that…NOTHING!
Trump's entire presidency is a big favor to pooootin. So he throws trumpie a small bone once in a while. Woof! 🦮
Trump and putler are the major threat to our peace and stability. Together with Iran, north korea. China's role is like the other dogs fighting and taking the bone.
Who wants to save the cardboard soldier putler? 😁
Some of the commentors are missing the point. I do not think anyone is really saying Trump should not have secure the man's release but is questioning if favours were negotiated. And if so, what are these favours.
part of the plan
Trump's gonna say he got an American for free because how good relationship he has with Putin while he should say the American shouldn't have been tortured, drugged and starved in the first place. And MAGA will aplaude Trump's failings.
It was in exchange for the call from JD Vance calling President Zelenskyy, asking him to calm down on the attacks deep inside russia
it's the work of the US president to free the wrongfully detained US citizens over sees, this does not prove that he is a ''russian asset'', a decent country shall not abandon its citizens oversees, let alone its soldiers and the members of its army
Trump said he didn’t care that Putin helped Iran target our soldiers, bases, and embassies. He admires Putin so much, he even mimicked his special military mistake.
It’s just took a call? After four years in Russian prison, he’s just making the call now? Should we be impressed? I would say it leaves a very clear mark on Donald Trump as incompetent in any which way, corrupt and incompetent…..
And he says that no other favours were exchanged this favourite giving to Putin all the time
