The wave of the missing. First half of 2025 sees more claims for MIA and KIA soldiers in courts than the whole previous year
Иллюстрация: Danny Berkovskii / Медиазона Since the start of 2025, Russian courts have received 26,000 claims for recognizing people as missing. Taking into account last year, the number of such claims is approaching 50,000. The vast majority of these claims are related to the war against Ukraine, and they are filed by military units and commanders. This is necessary in order to clear the personnel lists for the recruitment of new fighters.
