Families of the captives held a rally in Odesa: how they fight for attention to the missing.

A rally in support of captives and missing military personnel and civilians was held in Odesa. Relatives shared their stories, expressed their pain, and urged others not to remain silent. For them, this is a way to keep public and governmental attention on those who are still in captivity or unknown.

Stories of families of captives and the missing

Shevchenko Avenue once again became a place of loud and painful reminder, where families of captives and missing soldiers gathered. People held posters with photographs of the missing soldiers and civilians. Each photo tells a story that still has no answer.

Among those who came out that day was Olena Krasyanskа. She has been waiting for her husband, Serhii from the 15th Brigade 'Karadag', since he went missing over six months ago, and since then the family has lived in uncertainty. Another participant is Nataliia, the wife of missing Vitalii Vodinchar. For her, the wait has already stretched for two years.
