美联社 俄罗斯最高国内安全机构周三表示，已拘留一名德国公民，该人因涉嫌在乌克兰军队服役而面临指控。
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Russia’s top domestic security agency said Wednesday it has detained a German national who faces charges after allegedly serving in the Ukrainian army.
联邦安全局（FSB，前苏联克格勃的继任机构）未透露该男子姓名或任何其他身份细节，也未说明拘留地点和时间。
The Federal Security Service, or FSB, the successor agency to the Soviet KGB, didn’t give the man’s name or any other identifying details, and did not say where or when the man was taken into custody.
据联邦安全局声明，该男子曾于2016年至2018年在乌克兰军队服役，后于2025年签署一份为期三年的合同，但因未获发薪水而逃兵。声称他还曾作为德国驻阿富汗分遣队一员，以及在索马里和叙利亚参与敌对行动。联邦安全局称，该男子在俄罗斯面临从事雇佣兵活动的刑事指控。联邦安全局的指控无法独立核实。
According to the FSB statement, the man served in Ukraine’s military in 2016-18 and later signed a three-year contract in 2025 but then deserted after not getting paid. It alleged he also was involved in hostilities in Afghanistan as part of the German contingent there, as well as in Somalia and Syria. The man faces criminal charges in Russia of mercenary activities, the FSB said. The FSB’s allegations could not be independently verified.
德国外交部发言人卡特琳·德绍尔周三表示，德方知悉相关报道。她拒绝进一步置评，仅补充称：“我们的首要任务首先是弄清事实，这当然是我们正在推进的。”
Kathrin Deschauer, a spokeswoman for the German Foreign Ministry, said Wednesday that the German authorities were aware of the report. She refused further comment, adding only that “our priority is first and foremost to clarify the facts, which we are of course pursuing.”
上周，联邦安全局称拘留一名瑞典男子，因涉嫌破坏活动被指控非法越境，并宣布逮捕一名涉嫌间谍活动的日本记者。
Last week, the FSB said it detained a Swedish man , who was suspected of sabotage, on charges of illegally crossing the border, and also announced it had arrested a Japanese journalist who was suspected of spying.
近年来，俄罗斯以各种刑事指控逮捕了多名外国人——主要是美国人——随后通过与美国及其他西方国家的囚犯交换将其释放。
In recent years, Russia has arrested a number of foreigners — mainly Americans — on various criminal charges and then released them in prisoner swaps with the U.S. and other Western nations.
冷战以来规模最大的一次交换发生在2024年8月，当时莫斯科在一项多边协议中释放了记者埃文·格什科维奇和阿尔苏·库尔马舍娃、美国同胞保罗·惠兰以及俄罗斯异见人士，共计二十四人获释。
The largest exchange since the Cold War took place in August 2024, when Moscow freed journalists Evan Gershkovich and Alsu Kurmasheva , fellow American Paul Whelan and Russian dissidents in a multinational deal that set two dozen people free .
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于2025年1月重返白宫后，更多在俄罗斯被监禁的美国人获释，最新消息是周三由美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫在与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的会谈中宣布。
More Americans imprisoned in Russia were released after U.S. President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025, with the latest announcement Wednesday by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
威特科夫感谢普京释放了斯蒂芬·哈伯德。哈伯德是来自密歇根州的74岁前教师，在俄罗斯被关押了四年多。2024年，哈伯德因被控在乌克兰作为雇佣兵作战而被定罪，并被判处近七年监禁。美国已将其认定为错误拘留。
Witkoff thanked Putin for freeing Stephen Hubbard, a 74-year-old former teacher from Michigan who spent more than four years behind bars in Russia. In 2024, Hubbard was convicted on charges of fighting as a mercenary in Ukraine and sentenced to nearly seven years in prison. The U.S. had designated him as wrongfully detained.
克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，普京释放哈伯德是出于“人道主义考虑”。德国科隆的丹尼尔·尼曼对此有贡献。
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin made the decision to release Hubbard out of “humanitarian considerations.”Daniel Niemann in Cologne, Germany, contributed.
