'Most of the city is evacuating': Gridlock on Alberta highway after evacuation order in Fort McMurray
Four Fort McMurray neighbourhoods were ordered to evacuate on Tuesday as a wildfire gets closer to the city.
An American who returned to U.S. soil last week after being held by Russian-backed forces for more than three months said Monday that it's "surreal" to be back home.
"Honestly, it's still surreal. It's going to take time to adjust," Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" Monday evening.
"But overall, I'm very happy to be with Joy," he said of his fiancée, Joy Black. "I missed her every day when I was in captivity. But nonetheless, I'm very happy."
Huynh and fellow American Alexander John-Robert Drueke had been captured in June while fighting for Ukraine in a battle near Kharkiv. The pair was released as part of a prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine that was brokered by Saudi Arabia.
Their pro-Russian captors, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), is a Russian-backed, self-declared republic that has governed a breakaway portion of Ukraine's Donetsk region since 2014.
Huynh declined to share details Monday night about his time in captivity, saying he had not yet been fully debriefed by the U.S. government.
Huynh and Drueke arrived in New York City on Friday before being reunited with their family and friends at an airport in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday. Huynh said Monday when he finally embraced Black, he "felt happy again."
Black previously told CNN that Huynh had requested spaghetti with meat -- something he had been craving since being in Ukraine -- upon his return to Alabama, and the pair told Burnett Monday that they'd had the meal.
"We're kind of taking it at our own pace," Black said of Huynh's return. "We're still sorting through things, still readjusting."
