Russian prosecutors are seeking a seven-year prison sentence for Stephen Hubbard, a 72-year-old U.S. citizen accused of serving as a mercenary for Ukraine in its conflict against Russia.
Prosecutors emphasized Hubbard's age in their request and noted that he has admitted guilt, which could influence the court's final decision on sentencing.
Stephen Hubbard allegedly signed a contract with the Ukrainian military after Russia invaded in February 2022 and is claimed to have expected a payment of at least $1,000.
The prosecution's demand includes that Hubbard serve his sentence in a maximum-security penal colony, reflecting the seriousness with which they view his alleged actions.
