[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Ukrainian-Russian war has not yet ceased fire, and many countries have provided assistance to Ukraine.

Alabama veterans Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh were among the hundreds of Americans who had traveled to Ukraine earlier to help fight Russia.

They were imprisoned by the Russian army for three months and were released recently.

Drucker and nine other U.S. veterans, who were released in recent days to help Ukraine fight Russia, were arrested on June 9 during a reconnaissance mission related to the International Corps of Ukraine, The Associated Press reported.

After three months in captivity, he was threatened with execution, physically tortured, held in solitary confinement and deprived of food.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Drucker said Russian soldiers took the two men to their camp before conducting "intensive interrogations."

While refusing to give specifics, Drucker said it was brutal, "We were tortured." His hands were bound and his head was covered with a plastic bag. "For what we've been through, we've accepted that we might die. "The mental and emotional torture of the last 24 hours in captivity, that was the worst." He said one of the guards said several times, "I'm pretty sure you're going to be executed."

Drucker is getting his body back in shape and the swelling in his head is subsiding, and he says he lost 30 pounds (13.6kg) due to a poor diet.

Although he has returned to his hometown, terrible memories remain.
