Stories of people whose relatives are in captivity or have gone missing

Tens of people gathered near the railway station in Odesa with photos of those who have not been seen for months or even years. Some held children's drawings that never reached their recipients. The placards featured slogans such as 'We don’t need reports, we need people,' 'There is no time to be silent,' and 'Our indifference is the enemy's weapon.'

Among those waiting are people who are experiencing uncertainty and nurturing hope for the return of their loved ones. Relatives share their feelings and experiences, hoping for the best.

The rally in Odesa became a symbol of support for the families of military personnel and civilians who have gone missing or are in captivity. Participants expressed their desire to not forget about their loved ones and to continue the fight for their release.
