President Joe Biden celebrated former Marine Trevor Reed's release from a Russian prison after a public pressure campaign from the Reed family to ensure his plight was not forgotten.

"I heard in the voices of Trevor’s parents how much they’ve worried about his health and missed his presence," Biden wrote in a statement Wednesday. "And I was delighted to be able to share with them the good news about Trevor’s freedom."

Biden also cited the tough choices that he and his aides, including Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carstens and U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Sullivan, made during the Reed talks. But the president noted two more Americans remain in Russia, promising to continue working to secure their releases as well.

"The negotiations that allowed us to bring Trevor home required difficult decisions that I do not take lightly," Biden said. "His safe return is a testament to the priority my administration places on bringing home Americans held hostage and wrongfully detained abroad."

"We won’t stop until Paul Whelan and others join Trevor in the loving arms of family and friends," he added.

Reed was jailed in 2019 at the age of 29 for allegedly assaulting two Russian police officers in Moscow. He was sentenced in 2020 to nine years behind bars for endangering the "life and health" of the officers in the drunken altercation. Reed, his Russian girlfriend Lina Tsybulnik, and his family have denied the charges.

Reed was released through a prisoner swap deal. In return for Reed, the United States exchanged Russian national Konstantin Yaroshenko, who had been in U.S. custody for more than a decade on drug smuggling charges.
