June 17 (Reuters) - Russian media outlets on Friday broadcast images of what they said were two U.S. citizens captured while fighting for Ukraine, in what could be the first confirmation the duo had been taken prisoner.

The Izvestia newspaper showed a video clip of what it said was a brief interview with Andy Huynh, 27, of Hartselle, Alabama. The RT channel posted an image of a man it identified as Alexander Drueke, 39, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

I watched the video earlier on telegram, yep, that’s an American. Then head out driving, listening to talk radio on some Fox affiliated channel, news comes on and says Russia lies, so can’t be sure if Americans were captured. Unreal.

Actually, Russian media also posted what they had to say. But since the Neocon-controlled media doesn’t want the West to know what they said, I will respect their wishes and not pollute their narrative.

They claim to be Ukrainians, at this point at least.

Meanwhile anyone know when the first Jan. 6 arrest took place? And how many days the prisoners have been held without trial in the D.C. prison while our press is more concerned with Ukraine and Tigray?

Why are posting the same post all over FR? Are you having a stroke?

Sorry folks...

I had a reply to me in the cue, and tried to post the
pencil donation post a number of times.

Sadly, this blurted out instead across the forum.

To those who thought it was a good post. I didn’t write
it. Smile...

Take care...

It depends on how you define American. You obviously do the same way biden does.

They are officially members of the Ukrainian Army regardless of where they came from. As with the previously captured Ukrainian Army soldiers from the U.K., any mistreatment by the Russians will be treated as a war crime.
