Two Americans captured in Ukraine while fighting with Kyiv's military were "endangering" Russian soldiers and should be "held accountable for those crimes", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
Mr Peskov's remarks to NBC News were the first time the Kremlin has commented on the cases of Alexander Drueke and Andy Huynh, both US military veterans, the network said.
"They're soldiers of fortune and they were involved in illegal activities on the territory of Ukraine," Mr Peskov said.
"They were involved in firing and shelling our military personnel. They were endangering their lives.
"They should be held responsible for those crimes that they have committed. Those crimes have to be investigated."
Mr Peskov admitted that their specific offences were not yet known, but he claimed that they would not be covered by the Geneva Conventions on prisoners of war.
"They are not Ukrainian army, so they are not subject to the Geneva Conventions," he said.

Americans captured in Ukraine committed 'crimes', says Russia
Kremlin spokesman says they must be 'held accountable' for endangering Russian soldiers' lives

I disagree with the Russians. Americans called them enemy combatants in their war in Afghanistan and Iraq so Russia should also use the correct terminology and treat them exactly like the Americans treated them.
They should be immediately be transferred to the Siberian Gulags and "interrogated"
