The number of people missing as a result of the war in Ukraine is in the hundreds of thousands, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said at the Fourth International Conference held within the framework of the Baku Dialogue on Missing Persons, APA reports.
Yushchenko said the contact line is approximately 2,300 kilometers long and that the war with Russia has caused severe humanitarian consequences for Ukraine.
The former president noted that civilian casualties are recorded in Ukraine every day and that the greatest tragedies are occurring on the front line.
Yushchenko claimed that Russia’s losses over the past 30 days amounted to 42,000 people.
The former head of state said support for Ukraine should not be limited to solidarity. According to him, international cooperation should take a more practical form in addressing humanitarian problems caused by the war in Ukraine.
Viktor Yushchenko stressed the importance of the international community paying attention to the return of prisoners and deported children.
“The scale of the problem involving missing persons, those killed on the front whose bodies have not been handed over to Ukraine, forcibly deported children and other categories concerns not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of people,” he added.
Yushchenko also said that Ukraine would win the war not through numerical superiority, but through skill and its ability to wage modern and asymmetric warfare.
