"As of today, the death toll is about 2,300 Ukrainian soldiers, but it is difficult to say how many people are missing in action (MIA), because, as seen from experience, 40% of them are often captives. But we have not yet established their location. And about 60% are killed in action (KIA). Therefore, we estimate that 70-80 men out of 270 MIA's are held in captivity, and unfortunately, the remaining ones are KIA's," he said at a briefing on Tuesday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.
