"Former US Marine Trevor Reed Injured in Ukraine-Russia War"

Former US Marine Trevor Reed, who was recently freed from a Russian prison in a prisoner swap, has been wounded while fighting in Ukraine. Reed was transported to a Kyiv hospital before being evacuated to Germany for further medical care. He reportedly stepped on a landmine and suffered shrapnel wounds. The US obtained Reed's release in exchange for a Russian pilot serving a drug smuggling sentence. In other developments, Russian lawmakers approved legislation increasing fines for draftees who fail to report for service, and banning them from leaving the country. The US has sent a $400 million military aid package to Ukraine, including armored vehicles and ammunition for a counteroffensive against Russia. The city of Odesa has been heavily targeted by Russian missiles, causing significant damage. The Black Sea Grain Initiative, which allowed grain shipments from Odesa to sail through a Russian blockade, has been terminated, leading to increased strikes on the city. The United Nations has condemned the damage to historical buildings. Ukraine is also preparing for winter, with restoration work on power grids damaged by Russian attacks underway. International Atomic Energy Agency experts have discovered landmines around the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant in Russian-occupied southeastern Ukraine.
