Idk here a idea
War games is going on in the middle of the EU. Something big goes wrong and NATO blames the US. As a result a group of US soldiers is trapped in the EU. With nobody willing to let them out.
You could then add a plot line in that the Russians are willing to help the US. Which then adds friction to the situation as EU does not allow Russians within the EU.
One brother could be trapped in the EU the other in Russia or both together.
My point was that it makes your story line different. Could be very interesting
