Russian prosecutors are requesting a seven-year prison sentence for Stephen Hubbard, a 72-year-old U.S. citizen accused of serving as a mercenary in Ukraine.
According to reports, prosecutors have noted Hubbard's age of 72 and stated that he has admitted guilt, which they will consider in their sentencing recommendation.
The prosecutors allege that Hubbard signed a contract with the Ukrainian military following Russia's military action in February 2022, with promised payments of at least $1,000.
If sentenced, the prosecutors are requesting that Hubbard serve his time in a maximum-security penal colony, highlighting the serious nature of the charges against him.
