More than a thousand participants of the so-called. ATO lie in unmarked graves - there is a chance to identify the soldiers, but the state is not doing this, Colonel General Vladimir Ruban, who is involved in the exchange of prisoners in the Donbass, said at a round table in Kyiv.

“About 1000 of our soldiers without a name or surname are buried in the cemeteries of three cities, including about 500 in Dnepropetrovsk. These are killed soldiers who cannot be identified. They take material from them to determine their DNA and then compare it for a long time with the DNA of their relatives.
If you believe the SBU and the UN, according to which there are 1200-1300 missing people (although our numbers are completely different), then these thousand graves are the majority of the missing. It would seem that it would be simpler - the fighter is buried, the material is there, find his relatives. But they are not looking. Why? There is no system, no understanding of management,” says Vladimir Ruban.
