Russian prosecutors have requested a seven-year prison sentence for U.S. citizen Stephen Hubbard, who is accused of fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine against Russia. The court has been asked to consider his age of 72 and his admission of guilt, with a recommendation for him to serve time in a maximum-security penal colony. The prosecution alleges that Hubbard signed a contract with the Ukrainian military shortly after Russia's invasion in February 2022.
Hubbard, facing serious accusations, allegedly signed a contract with the Ukrainian military where he was promised a payment of at least $1,000 for his involvement as a mercenary. The involvement of a U.S. citizen in the conflict underscores the complexities of international legal proceedings, especially as tensions escalate between the U.S. and Russia amid the ongoing war.
