Trevor Reed, the former U.S. Marine who was wrongfully detained in Russia before being released in a prisoner swap, has been injured while fighting in Ukraine, according to a Biden administration official.
Reed "was not engaged in any activities on behalf of the U.S. government," State Department Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said during a press briefing.

With the help of a nongovernmental organization, Reed "has been transported to Germany and he is receiving medical care," Patel said. His condition was not immediately clear.
Patel declined to say when or where Reed was hurt in Ukraine.
