BREAKING American freed from Russian-controlled territory by Ukrainian intelligence
ABC News followed a military convoy into the war's grey zone just outside Zaphorizhia in southern Ukraine. A two-hour ceasefire was agreed to in the area, starting at midday local time, so that a swap involving dozens of prisoners of war could go ahead. Murekezi was brought out of Russian-controlled territory as part of that exchange.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News in the grey zone, just after he was brought out of Russian-controlled territory, Murekezi said he felt "trapped" in Donetsk and lived under intense uncertainty about his future and what would happen to him.
