The Ukrainian side in the Contact Group is trying to obtain information about the fate of 408 people, servicemen and civilians, who went missing in Donbas, Verkhovna Rada First Deputy Speaker Iryna Gerashchenko, who represents Ukraine in the Contact Group's humanitarian subgroup, said.

"The lists that we are working with in Minsk contain 132 hostages - both civilian and military. Plus 408 missing people, also civilian and military. This is on the Ukrainian side. And we don't know the fate of these people," Gerashchenko said at a news conference in Kyiv on Tuesday.

Gerashchenko went on to note that about 10,000 civilians have been killed on both sides of the contact line since the conflict began in Donbas.

"This is obviously not a final figure. When the conflict is over, we must find everyone," she said.

Gerashchenko also drew attention to the fact that some representatives of international organizations are being denied access to Donbas.

For two years, the Ukrainian president has been using every meeting in the Normandy Formant to raise the issue of access for the International Committee of the Red Cross to the 'occupied territories', to captives held in prisons, and also of access in terms of the search for missing people and the identification of those killed, Gerashchenko said.
