U.S. Army veteran Alexander Drueke, 39, and Marine veteran Andy Huynh, 27, were taken prisoner after encountering a Russian armored unit last week. They were captured after entering an area that they thought was clear, only to find themselves face to face with two Russian T-72 tanks and multiple BMP-3 armored vehicles.  The Americans surrendered to the Russian-backed troops and being held in the Dunbas region of Eastern Ukraine.                                                 The U.S. volunteer fighters capture comes just days after pro-russian seperatist forces in Eastern Ukraine captured two British Nationals and a Morrocan National in the Eastern Donetsk region and, after a two day trial, sentenced them to death for fighting as mercinaries.
