The Ukrainian state commissioner for missing persons, Artur Dobroserdov, stated that approximately 90,000 Ukrainians have been reported missing since the beginning of the war with Russia, the majority being military personnel. Among them, many are considered deceased, but there are also prisoners of war or deserters.
