Russia-Ukraine Flash Report for 6-17-22 11:00 PDT - US Foreign Volunteers Confirmed Captured
Added 2022-06-17 17:59:15 +0000 UTCBrief video statements from Alexander Drueke, 39, and Andy Huynh, 27, who went missing more than a week ago in the Kharkiv Oblast have been released. This confirms they were captured and are alive.
Both videos are very short, and both appear to be under duress. It is worth noting that videos like this are considered a war crime, and both belligerents have made these videos. It is highly likely they will face the death penalty in a sham trial. They are not illegal combatants under international law.
