Two American fighters, Alexander John-Robert Drueke and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, were captured on 9 June 2022, near Kharkiv, by the Russian military,[59] before being released in a prisoner exchange on 21 September 2022.[60]

One American, Russell Bentley, aged 64, was killed while fighting on the side of the pro-Russian separatists on April 8, 2024, in Donetsk.[61]
