Held in a Russian prison since 2019, Trevor Reed is safely on his way back to the US.
The parents of a US Marine freed in a prisoner swap with Russia have spoken of their joy at his release.
"The negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly," he said. In a media interview outside their home in a suburb of Dallas on Wednesday, they thanked Mr Biden, who his father said "probably saved our son's life". Maintaining that he had no recollection of the incident, he pleaded not guilty but was sentenced to nine years in prison in 2020 on assault charges.
The prisoner swap was carried out via Turkey after President Biden commuted the sentence of Mr Yaroshenko.The USA's history of racial inequality has paved the way for modern day police brutality
