The Daily Telegraph said that the two Americans were captured by diplomatic sensitivity because the Kremlin might try to use the evidence that the United States is directly participating in the Russian -Ukraine military conflict.

Regarding this, Kobe, a strategic communication coordinator of the National Security Council, responded on the 15th that he had learned about the news, but could not confirm the reports, "If this is true, we will do everything to let them go home safely." Essence He urged Americans not to go to Ukraine and fight in the place, saying that "Ukraine is not a place for Americans to travel." Curber also said that because the report was emergency, he did not know whether the US President Biden had understood the situation.

On June 9th, the Court of Donetsk District was sentenced to three foreign mercenaries who combat Wuxi combat, including two British. The Daily Telegraph states that the British side is currently undergoing related negotiations.
