Approximately 500 persons are listed as missing in Donbas, Verkhovna Rada Vice-Speaker and Ukrainian representative to the Trilateral Contact Group's humanitarian subgroup Iryna Gerashchenko said.

"About 500 persons are currently listed as missing. Lots of them disappeared after the [battle of] Ilovaisk," she said on the Svoboda Slova program aired by the television channel ICTV on Monday evening.

She noted the importance of Red Cross access for finding, identifying and releasing the captives.

A mission of the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) will come to Ukraine on Tuesday to discuss those matters, Gerashchenko said.
