被俄关押逾四年后走进椭圆形办公室：特朗普迎接获释返美的美国教师 Stephen Hubbard
华盛顿——美国总统特朗普10月30日在白宫椭圆形办公室迎接上周从俄罗斯获释返美的美国公民 Stephen Hubbard。白宫官方发布了这场约12分钟会面的全程视频。Hubbard 身穿格纹衬衫站在特朗普身旁，他的儿子与一位东正教神父也在场。
特朗普在椭圆形办公室里介绍说：「这位是 Stephen Hubbard。」他说 Hubbard「从俄罗斯回来了」，并说自己曾与俄罗斯总统普京通话谈及此事，俄方答复说：「我们会让他回来。」特朗普说，这件事是他当时临时起意向普京提出的：「我当时就问，能不能把 Stephen 放了？他们在这件事上非常友善。」
被问到被关押了多久，Hubbard 回答说：「四年半。」谈到获释那一刻，他说，类似的话他以前听过太多次，早已不敢轻信：「只有当他们开始给我新衣服、领我走出监狱大门、我看到那辆车的时候，我才终于相信。」他还说：「我再撑不过一年了。」他的儿子说，家人一度差不多已经放弃了希望，担心会把他永远失去在那里。
特朗普说，他当天特意推迟了前往 Florida 的行程，在白宫等 Hubbard 到来：「他们都在等我，但我想等 Stephen。」他还邀请 Hubbard 搭乘空军一号同去。
Hubbard 现年 74 岁，是密歇根州的一名退休教师。2022 年，他在乌克兰被俄方扣押，俄方指控他为乌克兰充当雇佣兵，此后被关押四年半；美国政府此前已把他列为「遭错误扣押」人员。据 CBS News 等媒体报道，他的获释于 10 月 21 日宣布：美国特使 Steve Witkoff 当天在圣彼得堡与普京会谈，俄方在会谈期间放人。特朗普说，是他本人向普京提出了放人请求，这次释放不涉及任何囚犯交换。Hubbard 于本周三（10 月 28 日）抵达美国，原定在得克萨斯州一所军方医院接受治疗。
在记者问答环节，特朗普说，谈判期间曾有人主张他对俄罗斯加征制裁，他没有采纳：「我正在跟普京总统说，我想把 Stephen Hubbard 接回来，总统先生；顺便说一句，我们现在就对你们加制裁——你能想象吗？」被问到其他仍在俄罗斯被关押的美国人时，特朗普说，人数「似乎有八人」，美方也在为他们努力；此前媒体报道的数字最高为 10 人。特朗普还在问答中简短回应了币安遭黑客攻击事件与伊朗谈判等问题。

After More Than Four Years in Russian Custody, Freed American Teacher Stephen Hubbard Walks Into the Oval Office as Trump Welcomes Him Home
Washington — President Trump on October 30 welcomed Stephen Hubbard, the American citizen released from Russian custody last week, in the Oval Office at the White House. The White House released the full video of the roughly 12-minute meeting. Hubbard, wearing a plaid shirt, stood beside the President, with his son and an Orthodox priest also present.
Introducing him in the Oval Office, Trump said, "This is Stephen Hubbard," adding that he "came in from Russia." Trump said he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the case, and that the Russian side told him, "We'll let him come back." He said the request had been spur of the moment: "I said, 'Could you let Stephen out?' And they were very nice in that regard."
Asked how long he had been held, Hubbard answered, "Four and a half" years. Describing the moment of his release, he said he had heard such promises too many times before to believe them: only when they gave him new clothes and led him to the exit of the prison, and he saw the car, did he finally believe it. "I wouldn't have lasted another year," he said. His son said the family had given up most hope and had been afraid they were going to lose him there.
Trump said he had deliberately delayed his trip to Florida that day to wait for Hubbard at the White House: "They're waiting for me now... I wanted to wait for Stephen." He also offered Hubbard a ride on Air Force One.
Hubbard, 74, is a retired teacher from Michigan. He was detained by Russian forces in Ukraine in 2022 and accused of fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine, and was held for four and a half years; the U.S. government had designated him as wrongfully detained. According to CBS News and other outlets, his release was announced on October 21: U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff was meeting Putin in St. Petersburg that day, and Russia freed Hubbard during the talks. Trump said he had personally asked Putin to release him and that no prisoner swap was involved. Hubbard arrived in the United States on Wednesday, October 28, and was expected to receive treatment at a military hospital in Texas.
During questions from reporters, Trump said some had wanted him to impose sanctions on Russia while he was negotiating, and that he had refused: "I'm speaking to President Putin. 'I'd like to get Stephen Hubbard back, Mr. President. And by the way, we're putting sanctions on you right now.' Can you imagine?" Asked about other Americans still held in Russia, Trump said the number "seems to be eight" and that the United States is working on their cases as well; earlier news reports had put the figure as high as 10. Trump also briefly took questions on the Binance hack and on talks with Iran.
