Thousands of Ukrainians live in agony and uncertainty as they search for their missing loved ones
Hindustan TimesKYIV, Ukraine — Iryna Reva stares at her phone, replaying the last video her 25-year-old son Vladyslav sent her from the front line before the volunteer soldier disappeared 19 months ago in a battle with Russian forces in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region. HT Image Reva is one of the thousands of Ukrainians desperately seeking news of loved ones who have disappeared in the two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion began. “I understand perfectly well that if I were there, he would have come to me, and maybe something would have been different, so I feel guilty all the time.” In an attempt to find her brother, Usenko filed a missing person’s report with the occupation authorities, the Russian Federation and the Russian Red Cross. “We’ve actually reached out to a lot of places, and the responses are pretty much the same,” said Oleh’s son Klim.
