Two former U.S. Marines who volunteered to fight in Ukraine against Russian forces have reportedly been captured.
Alexander Drueke, 39, and Andy Huynh, 27 -- both from Alabama -- were reportedly taken prisoner during a fight near Kharkiv in Ukraine’s northeast.
Russian media on June 17 broadcast images and video of the two men in custody.
Drueke and Huynh went missing last week, according to family members.
Hundreds of foreigners from the West have volunteered to fight for Ukraine after Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the first weeks of the war had called on foreigners with military experience to help defend the country.
Several foreign fighters have been killed since the war started in February, while a few have been captured.
