Why Is Marine Trevor Reed Jailed In Russia?
Reed is lucky to be in a Russian prison, Mr. Putin said, because if he had attacked an officer in the United States, as officials claim he did in Moscow, “he would have been shot dead on the spot.”
When asked by NBC News’ Keir Simmons if he would consider releasing Reed and another ex-Marine, Paul Whelan, on trumped-up allegations, Mr. Putin stated that negotiating terms of release “can be talked about.” He stated that Russia would bring up the issue of Russian citizens imprisoned in the United States. He said,
Your guy, the Marine — he’s just a drunk and a troublemaker. As they say here, he got himself s—faced and started a fight,
Among other things, he, he hit a cop. It’s, it’s nothing. It’s just a common crime. There is nothing to it.
Trevor Reed was detained in Moscow in 2019 after reportedly getting drunk and grabbing the arm of an officer while being driven to a station, causing the vehicle to swerve and threatening officers’ lives. The claim was denied as “preposterous” by the US ambassador, who pointed out that video evidence indicated no swerving. Reed is currently serving a nine-year sentence in prison.

Trevor Reed’s family reacted angrily to Putin’s remarks in an interview before the meeting on Wednesday, calling them “offensive.” On May 25, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. The US embassy in Moscow officially complained last week that his family and American diplomats have been denied access to him.
