(Video) The 72-year-old US citizen Stephen James Hubbard said at a hearing in the Moscow City Court that he received money for participating in the war on the side of Ukraine. According to the prosecution, he served under contract in the territorial defense of Izyum in the Kharkiv region. Hubbard fell into the hands of the Russian military in April 2022 during the fight for Izyum. If Hubbard is found guilty of participating in mercenary activities, he faces up to 15 years in prison. The US Embassy in Moscow confirmed that they are aware of the detention of an American citizen, but declined to comment further. This is reported by Deutsche Welle.
