Details
We currently have a Unified Register of Persons Missing in Special Circumstances. It is in the process of being filled with information. According to the latest data I received yesterday, the register currently contains more than 37 thousand Ukrainian citizens. These are civilians as well as members of the Armed Forces. The number will grow based on the information we have, which is automatically entered into the register first, so we see the number growing every month
He noted that quite often russia holds both civilians and prisoners of war in the same institutions.
Thus, the return of prisoners of war provides an additional opportunity to obtain information about Ukrainian civilians. The list of civilian hostages includes public and church figures, journalists, civil servants, representatives of local self-government, police officers, ATO participants, and even three OSCE staff members. Abduction of representatives of international organizations and citizens of other states is a demonstrative disregard for international law
Recall
For 10 years , russia has not provided any information about civilian Ukrainianswhom it has detained without any evidence and is actually keeping them in captivity.
