As of April 2023, about 7,000 servicemen are considered missing in Ukraine, the Commissioner for Missing Persons in Special Circumstances Oleg Kotenko said.
“The figure is really there, it’s just over seven thousand. We are counting on the fact that those people we are looking for as missing, they are still captured,” Kotenko said on Tuesday’s telethon.
He specified that about 60-65% of the missing according to statistics are alive and in captivity.
