Ex-U.S. soldier, now a double murder suspect, is a hero in Ukraine
In the spring of 2015, former U.S. soldier Craig Lang traveled to Ukraine and joined a paramilitary group fighting the Russians.
"I never noticed any fear," said Mamuka Mamulashvili, who commanded Lang in the Georgian Legion.
Four years later, Lang is under house arrest in Ukraine. His situation has nothing to do with his conduct inside the eastern European country. Lang is facing charges in the U.S. for allegedly killing a Florida couple during a stint back home last year.
His fate remains unclear.
The U.S. has requested Lang's extradition, but Ukraine has yet to hand him over. In a letter to his attorney obtained by NBC News, Ukraine's national prosecutor's office said it has reached out to the Justice Department asking that American authorities promise not to impose the death penalty on Lang.
