Two Alabama men say they’re more like brothers after being held captive by pro-Russian forces in Ukraine for three months.
Alex Drueke, of Tuscaloosa and Andy Huynh live just over 100 miles away from each other but they didn’t meet until they were serving in the Ukraine army early this year.
“I was losing hope,” said Huynh. “The constant unknown, the constant threat of being executed was a constant for me.” They had very little idea of what was happening in the outside world. They could only gauge the level of the war by the bombs they could hear near the prison and by the sounds from their neighbor prisoner’s television. They could hear the reports by Russian-backed television newscasts, but they knew it wasn’t totally credible.
