Russia frees American Stephen Hubbard, 74, captured in Ukraine
Original: Russia frees 74-year-old American Stephen Hubbard it captured in occupied Ukraine
Russia has released Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old American citizen who was captured in occupied Ukraine and held in Russian custody. His freedom ends a long detention that had drawn concern from US officials and his family. The release stands out because of Hubbard's age and the circumstances of his capture early in the war, and it is likely to renew attention on other Americans still held by Russia.
Why now: The release of an elderly American detainee is a significant development in US-Russia relations and the war in Ukraine.
