Such figures were announced by the representative of Ukraine, former President Leonid Kuchma, after a meeting of the contact group to resolve the situation.
“You probably know, and today this figure was announced - 1460 missing people. And this is against the backdrop of thousands of dead. 399 are in captivity,” he said at a press conference in Minsk.
Kuchma also emphasized that this is one of the biggest problems, and at today’s meeting it was decided to deal with it “more substantively.”
Let us remind you that the contact group to resolve the situation in Donbass met on May 6 in Minsk. The meeting in a closed format was attended by OSCE Special Representative Heidi Tagliavini, the second President of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma, the representative of the Russian side Azamat Kulmukhametov, representatives of the DPR and LPR Denis Pushilin and Vladislav Deinego.
As it became known, the issue of introducing peacekeepers to Donbass was not discussed at the meeting, as Kyiv insists on it.
