Pro-Russia separatists capture US Air Force vet in Ukraine: brother

Sele Murekezi says his brother, U.S. Air Force veteran Suedi Murekezi was captured by pro-Russian separatists in the Ukrainian region known as the Donetsk People's Republic.

Sele said his brother told him he is being detained in the Donetsk People’s Republic with two other recently-captured Americans, Alexander Drueke and Andy Tai Huynh. Sele said he has been in touch with U.S. officials at the embassy in Kyiv to try and save him.

"He has done his part for America," Sele told the Post, "and maybe America can do something for him, as well."
