Herszenhorn  \nUSA TODAY  \nRussian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Oct. 21 that Moscow is willing in principle to resume talks in November with Ukraine and the United States on ending the war in Ukraine, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said.  \nWitkoff flew into St. Petersburg a day after conducting talks in Oslo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the leaders of Finland and Norway and European and NATO representatives.  \nWitkoff said he would brief Putin on the Oslo talks which he described as productive and said had been characterized by “some degree of momentum.”  \nThe talks, the ninth time that Witkoff has met Putin in person, began with a goodwill gesture from Russia – the release of Stephen Hubbard, a 73-year-old retired [U.S. school](U.S. school) teacher held in Russia.  \nHubbard was living in Ukraine in February 2022 when Russia invaded. He was captured and taken to Moscow, where he was sentenced to nearly seven years after being convicted of fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine.  \nHe was designated wrongfully detained by the U.S. State Department in January 2025 .  \n“Stephen is on his way back home and will soon be with his family,”Trump said on his social media platform Truth Social.“Welcome home Stephen, it’s great to have you back.”  \nPutin announced that Hubbard was released and was at the Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, in comments published by Russian State Media, according to Reuters.  \nTrump said in his post that the United States didn’t make a “swap”for Hubbard’s release and chided the Biden administration for failing to secure the release.  \nUSA TODAY has reached out to the State Department and the White House for comment.  \nIn recent days, Trump has eased sanctions on Moscow and said the United States would import Russian diesel to lower fuel prices.  \nThe moves drew bipartisan criticism that Trump was favoring Putin over Zelenskyy.  \nSee RUSSIA, Page 2A  \nQIJFAF-04005w(O)N  \n©COPYRIGHT 2026 USA TODAY, A division of USA TODAY Co., Inc.  \nHOME DELIVERY  \n1-800-872-0001, USATODAYSERVICE.COM  \nNiki Robinson’s door sign alerts emergency responders to call her if they are called to her home.
