American POWs fighting for Ukraine 'prayed for death' fearing they'd never come home

A pair of American veterans, taken prisoner while fighting for Ukraine, said Russian captors relentlessly tortured them to the point where they "prayed for death," according to a broadcast interview aired Thursday.

Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh and Alexander John-Robert Drueke were released last month after spending three months in brutal Russian custody, they told ABC's "Good Morning America" in their first TV interview since being released.

Even after their release had been secured through back channel Saudi Arabian negotiators, their most harrowing moments came at the end of captivity, the former prisoners said.

Captors tied them up, blindfolded with packing tape, secured bags over their heads and stacked them in back of a truck, the former prisoners said.

"We prayed for death" at that moment, Huynh said. "We just wanted to die. We just wanted it to end."
