The prosecution's request emphasized that 72-year-old Stephen Hubbard's age should be considered during sentencing, indicating a desire for leniency despite the serious charges against him.
According to reports, Hubbard is accused of joining the Ukrainian military and was allegedly contracted to fight against Russia after the onset of the conflict.
Prosecutors have stated that Hubbard admitted guilt, which might influence the court's decision as they recommend a seven-year sentence in a strict penal facility.
The case highlights ongoing legal and geopolitical tensions, as U.S. citizens like Hubbard face severe penalties in Russia for involvement in conflicts against its military.
