American citizen Stephen Hubbard arrived at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas, bringing a close to his grueling four-year ordeal in Russian custody. The 74-year-old Michigan native was released by Moscow following high-level diplomatic engagements in Russia.
Hubbard, who had been detained since 2022 after Russian authorities accused him of fighting alongside Ukrainian forces, was touch-down ready on U.S. soil. Officials confirmed he will undergo standard medical evaluations and debriefings in Texas before reuniting with his family, marking a major milestone in ongoing U.S. diplomatic efforts to free wrongfully detained Americans abroad.
