DEVELOPING: Russian TV shows videos of 2 US vets from Alabama captured in Ukraine
Drueke, speaking into the camera from what appeared to be an office, sent a message to his mother, concluding with a quick wink.
Drueke, who served in the U.S. Army, and Huynh, who served in the U.S. Marines, went missing after their group came under heavy fire in the northeastern Kharkiv region on June 9. Three other foreigners fighting for Ukraine, two Britons and a Moroccan man, were sentenced to death by a court run by separatists in Donetsk, which is in the Donbas.
There has been no official confirmation from the U.S. or Russian government that the Americans were being held.
