from: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/17/third-american-volunteer-fighter-reported-missing-ukraine-grady-kurpasi

The reported disappearance of Kurpasi follows the announcement that Alexander Drueke, 39, and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, 27, had gone missing. If confirmed they would be the first Americans fighting for Ukraine known to have been captured since the war began in February. One US citizen has been killed fighting as a volunteer.

Stay safe Mr. Nance!
