据特朗普总统透露,密歇根州本地人斯蒂芬·哈伯德于周三晚间返回美国。他在俄罗斯被错误关押四年后,于本周三获释。

特朗普总统在周三晚间从南卡罗来纳州集会返回途中对记者发表讲话时表示,哈伯德刚刚返回美国。他预计哈伯德“在未来一两天内”会到访白宫。

“他刚从监狱出来,这很明显,”特朗普对记者说,“他在那里待了很久。”

哈伯德获释的消息当天早些时候在美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的会晤期间公布。哈伯德因被指控为乌克兰作战而在俄罗斯被关押四年多。美国政府认定哈伯德属于被错误拘押人员。

哈伯德从圣彼得堡登机前与父亲通了简短电话,他的儿子、修士约瑟夫·科尔曼表示,哈伯德的状态比2025年5月两人上次通话时要好。

“我想拥抱我的父亲,就像儿子拥抱父亲那样。我想亲自检查他的健康状况,确保他身体无恙,”科尔曼说。

现年74岁的哈伯德在圣安东尼奥降落,他将在那里接受医疗评估,这是海外获释囚犯的常规流程。

哈伯德是一名退休教师,2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后不久在乌克兰被俘,被指控为雇佣军把守检查站。他后来被判处近七年监禁。其家人一直对指控予以否认。

特朗普在社交媒体帖子中表示,普京应他的要求同意释放哈伯德,“不需要‘交换’”,不过他也补充称,如果白宫没有暂停国会上周通过的对俄新制裁法案生效,哈伯德不会获释。

“这似乎都与特朗普政府的短期利益挂钩,而这些利益似乎与燃油价格有关,”哥伦比亚广播公司国家安全分析师埃利奥特·阿克曼在《哥伦比亚广播公司早间节目》中表示。阿克曼曾是海军陆战队退役军官,也是中央情报局特别行动官员。

威特科夫在获释后对普京大加赞赏,称他是“人道主义者”,这一言论引发两党批评。

“你总说我的总统特朗普先生是人道主义者,你本人也是人道主义者,先生,我为此向你致敬,”威特科夫对普京说。

尽管哈伯德获释后双方释放了善意,但莫斯科当晚仍对乌克兰发动了大规模空袭。俄罗斯向基辅发射了21枚导弹,波及乌克兰近一半地区。

“我认为,在这场战争中,这次人质释放只是一个小姿态,而特朗普总统与普京之间一系列绥靖行动的整体格局与乌克兰的利益背道而驰,”阿克曼对哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示。

Stephen Hubbard, the Michigan native who spent four years wrongfully imprisoned in Russia before being released on Wednesday, landed back in the U.S. late Wednesday, according to President Trump.

The president said Hubbard had just landed back in the U.S. while Mr. Trump spoke to reporters late Wednesday night as he returned from a rally in South Carolina. He expected Hubbard to visit the White House “in the next day or so.”

“He’s obviously just got out of prison,” Mr. Trump told reporters. “He was there for a long time.”

Hubbard’s release was announced earlier in the day during a meeting between U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Hubbard was imprisoned in Russia for more than four years after being accused of fighting for Ukraine. The U.S. government had deemed Hubbard wrongfully detained.

In a brief phone call with his father before Hubbard took off from St. Petersburg, his son, friar Joseph Coleman, said he sounded better than he had during their last conversation in May 2025.

“I want to embrace him as a son embraces his father. I want to personally assess his health to make sure he’s well,” Coleman said.

Hubbard, 74, landed in San Antonio, where he will receive a medical evaluation, as is typical for prisoners released from overseas.

Hubbard, a retired schoolteacher, was captured in Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022 and was accused of manning a checkpoint for mercenaries. He was later sentenced to almost seven years in a penal colony. His family has always disputed the charges.

Mr. Trump said in social media posts that Putin agreed to release Hubbard at his request, with “no ‘swap’ necessary,” though he also said he would not have been released had the White House not halted new sanctions passed by Congress against Russia from taking effect last week.

“It would seem that this is all tethered to short-term interests on the part of the Trump administration that seem to be connected to fuel prices,” CBS News national security analyst Elliot Ackerman, a retired Marine and special activities officer at the CIA, told “CBS Mornings.”

Witkoff praised Putin after the release, calling him a “humanitarian,” a comment that generated bipartisan criticism.

“You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian, you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that,” Witkoff told Putin.

Despite the goodwill expressed after Hubbard’s release, Moscow still launched major strikes on Ukraine overnight. Russia launched 21 missiles at Kyiv and nearly half of all of Ukraine’s regions.

“I think this hostage release seems to be a much smaller gesture in what’s a larger pattern of kind of appeasing actions between President Trump and Putin that are running counter to Ukraine’s interest in the war,” Ackerman told CBS News.
