美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫本周将与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京讨论可能释放被俄罗斯拘押的美国公民斯蒂芬·哈伯德，知情人士透露了这一消息。以下是哈伯德案件的详情：据《纽约时报》引用的军事记录显示，现年74岁的退休教师哈伯德在密歇根州大急流城长大，曾在美军空军和国民警卫队服役。
US special envoy Steve Witkoff is going to discuss the possible release of American citizen Stephen Hubbard from detention in Russia with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week, according to people familiar with the matter. Here are details of Hubbard's case:Hubbard, 74, a retired schoolteacher, grew up in Big Rapids, Michigan, and served in the US Air Force and National Guard, according to military records cited by The New York Times.
据其妹妹帕特里夏·哈伯德·福克斯称，他获得了英语硕士学位，在日本生活了25年并在那里教授英语，随后搬到塞浦路斯，又于2014年与一名乌克兰伴侣搬至乌克兰东部的伊久姆。
He earned a master's degree in English and lived in Japan for 25 years, where he taught English before moving to Cyprus and then, in 2014, to Izyum in eastern Ukraine with a Ukrainian partner, according to his sister, Patricia Hubbard Fox.
福克斯2024年告诉路透社，哈伯德靠每月约300美元的养老金生活，与当地人鲜有来往。兄妹俩最后一次通话是在2021年9月。哈伯德是如何在2022年被捕的？
Fox told Reuters in 2024 that Hubbard lived on a pension of about $300 a month and had few connections with locals. The siblings last spoke in September 2021. How was Hubbard captured in 2022?
俄罗斯于2022年2月发动对乌克兰的全面战争，两个月后攻占伊久姆。乌克兰部队于2022年9月收复该城，但哈伯德届时已落入俄方羁押。
Russia launched its full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022 and captured Izyum two months later. Ukrainian forces retook the city in September 2022, but Hubbard was already in Russian custody by then.
俄罗斯官方媒体称，哈伯德于2022年4月被拘留，并指控他曾在乌克兰军事检查站执勤。路透社无法独立核实其被捕的具体情况。
Russian state media said Hubbard had been detained in April 2022 and alleged he had been manning a Ukrainian military checkpoint. Reuters could not independently establish the circumstances of his capture.
福克斯称，她在一个YouTube视频中认出了哥哥，视频显示一名男子正接受关于他对普京和战争看法的询问。另一段视频显示他双手被绑，遭人用拖鞋殴打。路透社无法核实视频的拍摄时间和地点。俄罗斯为何囚禁哈伯德？
Fox said she recognized her brother in a YouTube video showing a man being questioned about his views on Putin and the war. Another video showed him with his hands bound, being struck with a sandal. Reuters could not verify when or where the videos were recorded. Why did Russians imprison Hubbard?
经不公开审判，莫斯科一家法院于2024年10月以雇佣兵罪判处哈伯德有罪，判处有期徒刑六年零十个月。检方称，哈伯德曾加入乌克兰领土防御部队，接受训练、领取武器弹药，并被许诺每月获得1000美元报酬。
Following a closed trial, a Moscow court convicted Hubbard of being a mercenary in October 2024 and sentenced him to six years and 10 months in prison. Prosecutors said Hubbard had joined a Ukrainian territorial defense unit, received training, weapons and ammunition, and was promised $1,000 a month.
俄罗斯官方媒体称，他对指控认罪。然而，福克斯对这一报道的供词提出质疑，称哈伯德持亲俄观点，不太可能在七十多岁时拿起武器。他的美国律师马丁·德卢卡在2025年6月告诉路透社，哈伯德告诉他指控不实，且他不在任何战斗或军事单位。他引述哈伯德的话说，俄罗斯士兵只是从他家里把他抓走。
Russian state media said he pleaded guilty to the charges. Fox questioned the reported confession, however, saying Hubbard held pro-Russian views and was unlikely to have taken up arms in his seventies. Martin De Luca, his US-based lawyer, told Reuters in June 2025 that Hubbard told him the charges were false and that he was not in any combat or military unit. He cited Hubbard as telling him Russian soldiers had simply grabbed him from his house.
哈伯德目前的状况如何？2025年1月，华盛顿将哈伯德认定为被错误拘留，使美国政府得以寻求谈判以争取释放他。美国国务院表示，俄罗斯拒绝给予美国官员领事探视权。《纽约时报》在2025年2月报道，哈伯德在受审前已被转移过至少五个俄罗斯拘留中心。他的律师称，哈伯德的法律团队直到2025年4月才得知他被关押在莫斯科以东的莫尔多瓦地区的一个设施里。
What is Hubbard's current status? In January 2025, Washington designated Hubbard as wrongfully detained, enabling the US government to pursue negotiations for his release. The US State Department has said Russia refused to grant American officials consular access. The NYT reported in February 2025 that Hubbard had been moved through at least five Russian detention centers before his trial. His lawyer said Hubbard's legal team learned only in April 2025 that he was being held at a facility in the Mordovia region, east of Moscow.
