first of all, what are you learning about trevor reed and his condition?porter: wolf, this is just remarkable. trevor reed coming to ukraine to fight against the country that held him for three years. what we do know is trevor reid was fighting in ukraine when he was injured. he was taken to kyiv for medical treatment, firstly. then he was evacuated to germany. we understand he's now being treated at a u.s. military medical facility, the landstuhl regional medical center near the ramstein air base. wolf, there's still a lot of questions we don't have the answers to. extent of injuries? where was he when he was injured? what unit was he fighting with? reed was held in russia in prison for three years, from 2019 until last year. the u.s. determined he was wrongfully detained. he was traded last year for a russian pilot named constan 9 yare shen co, convicted by the u.s. for drug smuggling. the biden administration is making clear they do not want to see reed or others like him coming to ukraine, fighting in ukraine. we heard from u.s. officials today saying

it's very clear that trevor reed did this on his own.roops in ukraine and of course, they want to keep it that way for as long as they possibly can, but the other part of this story is that when russia and ukraine exchanged prisoners, of course, some of those prisoners, former prisoners come back to fight on the front lines almost immediately after they've been released. so there are certain nuances to this in any way you look at it. >> yeah. fair point. colonel, i want to switch gears a bit. bowe bergdahl as someone who fought on the front lines, yourself, what is your reaction to the news, the judge vacating his conviction and dishonorable discharge? >> well, from my perspective, of course, i think all of the parties involved in the bergdahl situation agree that he deserted his post when he was serving in afghanistan and of course, he walked into the taliban front lines and was captured by them and held prisoner for about five years. that is the situation where he did this and because of the situation where the presiding military judge
