They are rumored to be engaged. According to current sources, she is simply a fiancée, but her whereabouts are unknown at this time.
She was last seen reacting during Reed’s verdict hearing at the Golovinsky district court in Moscow on July 30, 2020.
Reed, then 28 years old, traveled to Russia in 2019 with Lina Tsybulnik. He went to Moscow to study the language. However, he could not return, as he was arrested by Russian police for drunkenness and assault and sent to prison to sober up.
To make matters worse, it was discovered that he had been treated inhumanly in prison.

In July 202, Reed was charged with nine years in prison in Russia. He has been falsely accused of putting a government employee’s life in jeopardy while performing his job. On the other hand, the Texas sailor and his family have always denied the claim.
Today, we welcome Trevor Reed back home and celebrate his return to the family that missed him so much. A former US Marine, he is now free from Russian custody. I am delighted to be able to share with his family the good news of Trevor’s freedom.

Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot, faces a long prison term for drug smuggling. He was arrested in Liberia in 2010 and was serving a twenty-year prison sentence at the time.
Reed’s parents protested outside the White House last month, and the prison swap was successful. They were finally able to secure a meeting with the President. After President Biden commuted Mr. Yaroshenko’s sentence, the swap was made through Turkey.
