Ukraine's representative in the Contact Group on Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, has said that 1,460 people have gone missing during the military conflict in Donbas and nearly 400 are held captive.

"You probably know, and today this figure was announced: 1,460 missing persons. And that is against the backdrop of thousands of those killed. Three hundred ninety-nine are held captive," Kuchma told reporters in Minsk on Wednesday after a meeting of the Contact Group.

"The good news is that today we decided to tackle this problem more thoroughly," Kuchma said.
