唐纳德·特朗普总统促成俄罗斯释放一名因在乌克兰充当雇佣兵而被关押的美国退休教师。
“四年前拜登政府执政期间被俄罗斯扣押的斯蒂芬·哈伯德刚刚获释，这是唐纳德·J·特朗普总统直接于上周通过电话与弗拉基米尔·普京总统提出请求的结果，”特朗普周三上午在Truth Social发布的帖子中写道。
“斯蒂芬正在返回美国的途中，很快就能与家人团聚。出于对特朗普总统的尊重，美国无需做出任何回报——这对俄罗斯来说是前所未有的情况。此次释放无需进行‘交换’。这本该早在拜登政府时期就完成，他们与克里姆林宫的谈判毫无进展。斯蒂芬正在回家的路上。
“‘欢迎回家，斯蒂芬，能接你回来真是太好了，’”特朗普在帖子中援引他的话说。

特朗普在另一篇Truth Social帖子中补充道：“许多曾要求立即对俄罗斯实施制裁的人已经致电向特朗普总统道歉，因为他们此前不知道他正在就斯蒂芬·哈伯德的获释进行谈判，这对美国来说是一项真正重大且重要的协议。如果当时实施了制裁，谈判无疑会彻底终止。”
总统在另一篇帖子中还表示：“拜登早就应该促成哈伯德的释放！一位总统的作为带来的改变何其之大！”
哈伯德是密歇根州人，2024年被判处近七年监禁。检方称，2022年2月俄罗斯出兵乌克兰后，他与乌克兰军方签订了合同，并与其并肩作战，直到两个月后被俘。
美国特使史蒂夫·威科夫周三在与普京总统会面时表示：“多亏了你，他才能回家与家人团聚。”

“他已经75岁了，”威科夫谈及哈伯德时说道，并将普京描述为“秉持人道主义精神的人”。
特朗普总统周二表示，他已就哈伯德一事与普京进行沟通。

“我一直在就哈伯德先生的事与普京总统沟通，谈了很久。我请求他释放哈伯德，”特朗普说道。“我们看看结果如何。”

President Donald Trump secured the release from Russia of a retired U.S. teacher who was locked up on charges of fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine.
“Stephen Hubbard, taken four years ago by Russia during the Biden Administration, was just released from prison, at the request of President Donald J. Trump, made directly to President Vladimir Putin in a telephone conversation last week,” according to a Wednesday morning Truth Social post issued by Trump.
“Stephen is on his way back home and will soon be with his family. The United States, out of respect for President Trump, was not required to give anything in return — an unprecedented situation for Russia. There was no ‘swap’ necessary for this release. This major return should have taken place long ago through the Biden Administration, which got nowhere in its negotiations with the Kremlin. Stephen is on his way back home.
“‘Welcome home Stephen, it’s great to have you back,’” Trump said, according to the post.

Another Truth Social post issued by Trump added, “Numerous people, who requested that sanctions be immediately imposed on Russia, have called to apologize to President Trump in that they didn’t know that he was negotiating the release of Stephen Hubbard, a truly big and important deal for the U.S. If sanctions would have been placed, certainly those negotiations would have come to a complete and total halt.”
The president added in another post, “Biden should have done the Hubbard release long ago! What a difference a President makes!”
Hubbard, a Michigan man, was sentenced in 2024 to almost seven years imprisonment. Prosecutors said he had signed a contract with the Ukrainian military after Russia sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022, and that he fought alongside them until being captured two months later.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff told Russian President Vladimir Putin of Hubbard during a Wednesday meeting that “because of you, he’s going home to his family.”

“He’s a 75-year-old man,” Witkoff noted of Hubbard, describing Putin as a “humanitarian.”
President Trump noted on Tuesday that he had been in communication with Putin about Hubbard.

“I’ve been talking to President Putin about Mr. Hubbard. I’ve been talking to him at length. I’ve asked him to release him,” Trump said. “Let’s see what happens.”
