‘We don’t know anything about it,’ Kremlin spokesperson says of missing US fighters

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN this Friday (17) that he knows nothing about two American fighters who disappeared north of Kharkiv, Ukraine. “No, we don’t know anything about it,” Peskov said during a media call.

The two Americans fighting alongside Ukrainian forces have been missing for nearly a week, and there are fears they may have been captured by Russian forces, according to their families and a fellow soldier.

The men are Alexander John-Robert Drueke, 39, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama; and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, 27, of Hartselle, Alabama.

On Thursday, a photo surfaced on the Telegram channel of a Russian blogger that appeared to show the two Americans in the back of a military truck, apparently confirming that they had been captured by Russian forces.

The photo shows the two men looking at the camera with their hands behind their backs as if they were tied together.

On Thursday, the US State Department said there is potential evidence that Alexander Drueke has been captured, but cannot verify the photo at this time, his mother Bunny Drueke told CNN.

The undated photo was posted on Telegram on Thursday by a Russian blogger, The V — whose full name is Moscow’s Timofey Vasilyev. CNN can’t verify when it was taken.
