Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Stephen Hubbard, who was detained by Russia four years ago during the Biden administration, has been released. Trump stated that this was a request he made directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call last week, and that the U.S. did not have to pay any price, which is unprecedented for Russia, and no "exchange" was required. Trump believes this significant release should have been achieved long ago by the Biden administration, but its negotiations with the Kremlin made no progress. Stephen Hubbard is currently on his way home and will soon be reunited with his family.
