- Russia captured American military veterans Alex Drueke (39) and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh (27), labelling them “soldiers of fortune” (mercenaries).
- The men were volunteers in the Ukrainian military; the US State Department is urging Russia to abide by international law protecting prisoners of war.
- They went MIA last week after their platoon came under heavy fire in Kharkiv (Ukraine’s 2nd largest city, 25 miles from Russian border).
- Russia recently labelled British and Moroccan military volunteers as mercenaries and sentenced them to death.
