A Russian court has sentenced 72-year-old American citizen Stephen Hubbard from Michigan to six years and ten months in prison for allegedly fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine. The Moscow City Court convicted Hubbard in a closed-door trial under charges of participating as a mercenary in armed conflict against Russia. Hubbard, who had been living in Ukraine since 2014, reportedly joined Ukraine's Territorial Defense forces in the city of Izyum in February 2022. He was captured by Russian forces and could have faced a sentence of up to 15 years. The prosecution had sought a seven-year sentence.
