The head of the “Officer Corps” prisoner release center, Vladimir Ruban, announced this in a commentary to the UNN agency.
“The number of missing people is a complex number. The SBU names 1 thousand 200 people, European speakers – 1 thousand 300 people, and our prisoner exchange center “Officer Corps” has data on 3 thousand 900 people in its database. These are both military and civilians,” Ruban said.
According to him, this number was formed on the basis of reported appeals from relatives of missing people.
“Perhaps because we also have “Donetsk” in our database who disappeared without a trace. But I believe that in fact the data on the number of missing people is much greater than what is reported. You also need to understand that there are a number of people who are buried namelessly, but were not identified. When relatives can identify them by DNA, then there will be fewer missing people,” explained Ruban.
