Russian forces kidnap two American volunteers in Ukraine

The first two American soldiers to be taken as prisoners of war in Ukraine since the crisis began in March.

According to sources quoted by The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday, Russian agents kidnapped Robert Drueke and Andy Huynh last week on the outskirts of Kharkiv.

The two had traveled to the area as volunteers.

‘We were on an operation, and everything went completely insane due to faulty intel.’

‘We were assured the town was clear, but the Russians were already attacking it.’

‘They came down the road with two T72 tanks and multiple BMP3s (armoured fighting vehicles) and about 100 infantry. The only thing that was there was our ten man squad,’ said one of their comrades.

The pair are among Western volunteers who rushed to the region to aid Ukrainian forces.
