There are at least 115 seriously ill and severely wounded Ukrainians in russian captivity. However, this figure is still not objective.

According to information from open sources, there are about 115 seriously ill and seriously wounded in russian captivity, but this figure may not be final. This was stated by Olena Belyachkova, coordinator of the groups of families of prisoners and missing persons of the MIPL, during a press conference, UNN reports.

From what we have been able to communicate with the released prisoners of war, as well as civilians, and from the information we receive from open sources, the figure is about 115 seriously ill and seriously wounded. We understand that it is far from final and objective, due to the condition in which our women and men return from captivity

- Belyachkova said.

The commission is supposed to determine the health status of prisoners and facilitate the repatriation of seriously wounded.
