As many as 153 Ukrainians are currently held in captivity in the self-proclaimed Donbas republic, says Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) chief Vasyl Hrytsak.
"As many as 801 others are considered missing," Hrytsak said at a press conference at an SBU training center in the community of Pyatykhatky outside Kyiv on Saturday.
The SBU chief said he hoped that the Ukrainians held in captivity would be freed in the near future.
