I completely agree, Priya. Maybe a coalition of international human rights groups could pressure for a transparent, third-party audit of the missing persons records.

It's heartbreaking that these families are still left in the dark after all this time. I wonder if there have been any independent investigations into where these people were actually taken, or if the government is just ignoring the calls for transparency?

"Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe"

Stop following data from 2012, the 2025 Corruption Index states that Ukraine is the 7th most corrupt country in Europe (behind Bosnia, Serbia, Belarus, Turkiye, Azerbaijan, and Russia)

@dwnews this is not «Ukraine war». This is «russia-Ukraine war»! Define and get it right!
@

Perhaps DW should consider hiring a Ukraine reporter who speaks the local language ?! Pathetic report.

Was Zelenskyy right to sack Federov? What does it tells us about Ukraine today? Let us know in the comments below.
@
"Make Fedorov Great Again." OK
@
It's easy to appease a demonstration in the Ukraine.
@
The most corrupted country in Europe and eu clowns keep pumping billions to the thieves of kiev
@

😂😂 yes, I can see that Ukraine has turned the tide...

EU must demand accountability. Zelensky is picking fight with Poland for no reason and fire someone trust worthy also for no reason.

Zelensky’s self-inflicted disastrous crisis just shows that corruption and criminal activities around Syrskyi are endemic.

Replacing the Defense Minister isn't enough if the strategy on the ground isn't working. If the troops and the public have lost faith in the commander-in-chief, keeping him in power just creates more instability when they can least afford it.

There are too many women on the streets of the Great Ukraine who must be on the front lines⚡🇺🇦🙋🏻

Kick out currupted Zelenzky
@
Zelensky will do whatever it takes to cling to power, Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe.

Elect a different, wise president.
@
if it was Russia they would be saying that's the worst disgrace of button ruling because it's Ukraine is protesting their system is collapsing

Whole nato funding Ukraine Germany france producing Ukrainian drones giving to Ukraine and killing Russian soldiers.
Putin was right according to Russian that Russia is not fighting only Ukraine Russia is fighting whole nato who is funding Ukraine and giving weapons to kill Russian. Without funding and weapons you cannot fight a war. If nato wouldn't gave weapons to Ukraine it was very difficult for putin continue this war for longer. But nato escalated giving weapons to Ukraine that is killing Russian are angry now Russia will also escalate this war simple .
