Vladimir Putin has ordered the release of jailed American Stephen Hubbard as he met Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff for talks on the Ukraine war. The gesture, reported by the Guardian, comes as Washington presses Moscow over a possible settlement, and it is being read as a goodwill signal ahead of any further negotiations between the two sides.
Why now: The release of an American detainee coinciding with high-stakes US-Russia talks on Ukraine makes the story newsworthy right now.
