Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old former schoolteacher, was freed by Russia after being held since April 2022 and jailed for allegedly fighting for Ukraine, which he denies. Envoy Steve Witkoff told Putin in a meeting on Wednesday, "You are a humanitarian also, sir", and Trump gave a qualified "yes" when asked if he agreed.
