Russia has released American citizen Stephen Hubbard, who had been imprisoned for over four years. The release of the 74-year-old comes as a diplomatic envoy from President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
President Trump's envoy, Witkoff, reportedly thanked President Putin for the release, referring to him as a "Humanitarian." President Trump had previously made a plea for Hubbard's freedom and has since hailed Russia's decision.
Hubbard's release coincides with ongoing high-level discussions between the two nations. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
