"The wife of Derek Huffman, who earlier this year relocated his family from Texas to Russia to escape “LGBT indoctrination”—and was sent last month into active duty fighting in Ukraine—has released an update on her husband’s combat experience.

In the comment section of a July 15 YouTube video updating viewers about her family’s life in Russia, DeAnna Huffman said that her husband is alive and healthy.

“He’s not missing. Or ever was,” DeAnna wrote, responding to rumors that he was missing in action. She said that she spoke to him on the phone the night before the video was posted."
