SLOVIANSK, Ukraine — Peering out over the faded fence in front of her modest cottage, Maria Vasylovna Pichko wonders if her son is "somewhere out there."

"In my heart I believe he is," says the 61-year-old, wiping tears from her eyes.

It’s been almost eight months since she last saw her 31-year-old son Alexei Borisovich Pichko. Pro-Russian rebel gunmen came one day last June and dragged him off. She hasn't seen him since.
