’But I’ve never received payment.’ Americans captured in Ukraine speak out, ‘I didn’t fire a shot’

39-year-old Alexander Drueke, taken prisoner by pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine showed up in an interview with Russia’s state news agency. “If we were deployed to the front, it was going to be somewhere around 3500 US dollars a month,“ said Drueke, adding he didn’t fire a shot. The other American, 27-year-old Andy Huynh who served in the US Marines was captured after their group came under heavy fire in the northeastern Kharkiv region on June 9. The Kremlin has said it cannot rule out that the two captured men, both from Alabama, would be sentenced to death. Two British citizens and a Moroccan were sentenced to death by a court in the Donetsk People’s Republic in eastern Ukraine this month after being caught fighting for Ukraine. __________________ Powered by Shanghai Media Group, ShanghaiEye focuses on producing top-quality content for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Youtube.
