U.S. ‘Will Make Every Effort’ To Rescue Captured Americans In Ukraine, Former Amb. Says



The State Department has confirmed that a second American has been killed while fighting in Ukraine as concern over another two U.S. veterans who have been captured by Russian forces grows. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and Vice President of Russia and Europe at the U.S. Institute of Peace, William Tayor, joins News NOW to explain how Russia views U.S. citizens fighting alongside Ukraine’s military and what it would take for both sides to return to the table as peace talks stall.

  1. If Russia wants to give ppl death penalty for those who go to help Ukraine then Ukraine should do the same to war criminal and other soldiers from other countries fighting for Russia. That would put pressure on Russia as Syria would be telling Russia to save their ppl. Russia does all this stuff and even war criminal just get life in prison and once Ukraine falls those ppl will be freed. This needs to be done like the Nuremberg trails to set a example that ppl who commit these crimes will face death not just life in prison

  2. Is the American govt an military going to send troops to rescue them

  3. Russia should exchange Julian Assange for those two 😂😂 would love to see Brandon's face 😂😂

  4. Could offer Russia 1 billion dollar for each American. After all U.S. is sending Ukraine money like it's candy and at no cost to tax payers.

  5. Like the ones in Afghanistan

  6. Putti is smarter than you all

  7. If they want Russia to release them, they must reverse the sanctions against Russia in exchange

  8. If America try which means they are CIA agent in secret

  9. — BBC Documentary

  10. Russia has prisoners in United States that they want to be be released. Do, it's going to be a technical situation in which USA have to save face via diplomatic values

  11. To rescue them or to negotiate their release..?

  12. They are going to die as the murdering mercenaries they are. The only thing I hope for is that the media and individuals in positions of authority who promoted the idea that people should go fight be held responsible too…

  13. Yan yung Pinoy na taga South Cotabato If di ako nagkakamali 😊

  14. Why doesn't peace talks go nuclear (another level).

  15. ¿ usa will invade rusia?, for tieves and criminals an atomic war in the land, god order?

  16. America should send F35 to Ukraine

  17. Mercenaries should be death

  18. Theyre doomed.
    Dumb mistake fighting for puppetlenskyy and globalists

  19. Pulling out reserves just to replace the other troops that's been there for a month its normal to all military in the world we call it Troop rotation for others to have some R and R.

  20. Russian spokesman called them "soldiers of fortune and merceneries which means that they will be facing the same fate as the British volunteers i.e death penalty

  21. Leave no man behind…

  22. Play stupid games win stupid prizes

  23. The U.S. is prepared to support Ukraine to the last Ukrainian!

  24. How can they push Russia back with donation weapons its impossible

  25. "Why does NATO keep expanding towards Russia? They have the same goals as Napoleon and Hitler. Which is to obtain Russia's oil, gas, coal and steel. This is clear as daylight." -Muammar Gaddafi

  26. It hasn't been confirmed, if the two of them, one and or the other had killed anyone, while in Ukraine serving. The one report indicated they were or one was behind the scenes most of the time and only recently went to the front lines on a mission. If they had not killed anyone, the claims against them being held for having done so, are false. It is baseless if they claim they functioned equipment unless they made a direct hit on a human target If they had, the court results may be grim.

  27. Tese man volonteerd to fight for The neo nazi regime in Kiev. Why? Nobody knows. They knew the risks. So be it. What will sleepy Joe do now? Start a war with Russia? LOL!

  28. Aman Jesus christ save powerful testimony glory be to God Matthew chapter 28:19:20

  29. "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
    And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
    The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 
    Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)

    Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.

    "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him 
    should not perish but have everlasting life.
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)

    ✝️ JESUS LOVES YOU. HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE. Please do not ever forget that.

  33. The usa soldiers fighting against Russia deserve death penalty

  34. Good luck, they will probably be executed

  37. Why should we care about Ukraine? Ukraine exemplifies the fight for freedom-as well as peace. They are adaptive, creative, and caring–the embodiment of freedom and grit over oppression, tyranny and global aggression. The world is in their debt for their heroic efforts. We should be helping them as much as possible. Standing idly by will have devastating consequences to human civilization for decades to come – if not centuries.

    If not now, when?

  38. Mighty America was publicly humbled and humiliated by the failure in Afghanistan but they want to convince the rest of the world that they have the brain and the capacity to defend and defeat Russian. They have enough on their plate as it is to bring down a fake president at home first before they can earn any respect.

  39. There is no rescue, this isn’t Hollywood where they “send in the marines” they are GONE forever!

  40. They were told not to go.

  41. Taylor is a crook. I'd say he has dual loyalties but he is solely loyal to the Ukrainian Nazis.

  42. Keep them there 🤣 let Russell Bentley smack them around

  43. That was their decision to go join Nazis, they could help more here in America at the elementary schools

  44. Firing squad By the Week end

  45. I Really Don't Believe A Word That Comes Out The The Mouth Of Our Government. Nor Some X-Ambassador.

  46. I am sorry, but this war us about Ukraine, & the focus needs to stay on Ukraine – not on unfortunate voluntary soldiers from other countries.
    Thousands of both Ukrainian soldiers & civilians are dead. Worse yet – many were tortured. Why should 2 American soldiers who volunteered be more important?
