74岁的前密歇根州教师斯蒂芬·哈伯德在被俄罗斯关押超过四年后获释，并于21日在华盛顿特区白宫受到美国总统特朗普接见 1。哈伯德此前被指控以雇佣兵身份参与乌克兰冲突，其法律团队对此予以否认 1。他在获释后的首次公开评论中透露，直到看到新衣服并被带出监狱时，才确信自己真正获得了自由 1。
特朗普表示，他曾向普京请求释放哈伯德，且强调美国无需释放任何人作为对等交换 1。国际社会普遍将这一事件视为俄罗斯试图拉近美俄立场、影响特朗普对乌政策的外交手段 1。此外，该事件也被认为为共和党在11月3日中期选举前提供了政治资本 1。
Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old retired teacher from Michigan, was released from Russian captivity after being detained for more than four years on charges of participating in the Ukraine conflict as a mercenary. 1 Hubbard’s legal team has consistently denied these allegations, which formed the basis of his imprisonment. 1 Following his release, Hubbard visited the White House on the 21st to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump. 1
In his first public remarks since leaving prison, Hubbard stated that he did not believe he would be freed until he saw new clothes and was led out of the facility. 1 During their meeting, President Trump revealed that he had requested Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Hubbard without requiring any exchange or concession from the United States. 1 International observers have interpreted this event as part of Russia’s diplomatic efforts to influence Trump’s stance on Ukraine. 1 Additionally, the release is seen by some as providing political capital for the Republican Party ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. 1
