Kremlin says death penalty for captured US citizens cannot be ruled out, which ’appalls’ White House

The Kremlin Press Secretary told NBC’s Today show that two Americans captured in Ukraine will face consequences. “They were taking part in the battlefield activities,“ said Dmitri Peskov. “They will be punished.“ Alex Drueke and Andy Huynh, both from Alabama, were believed to be the first Americans captured by Russian forces since the war began on Feb. 24.
