Stephen Hubbard, a 72-year-old American, has been sentenced in Russia to nearly seven years in prison for allegedly serving as a mercenary in Ukraine.
Hubbard's sister expressed skepticism about his confession, asserting that he is "more of a pacifist", which raises questions about the validity of the charges against him.
Captured by Russian forces in April 2022, Hubbard had been serving in a territorial defense unit in Ukraine, illustrating the complexities of foreign involvement in the conflict.
Despite a recent landmark prisoner exchange, at least 10 U.S. citizens remain incarcerated in Russia, highlighting ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Russia.
