Over 114,000 people are officially missing in Ukraine
The scale of the human tragedy behind the war is becoming impossible to ignore as National Police data hits a grim new record.
Just let those numbers sink in for a second. The National Police of Ukraine, led by Ivan Vyhivsky, are currently tracking over 114,000 individuals who have completely vanished into the fog of this war.
This isn't just a dry statistic. These are civilians and soldiers whose families are living in a nightmare of not knowing. The police are now working with the UK's National Crime Agency to try and bridge the gap, using everything from DNA samples to digital fingerprints from ID cards just to put names to the unidentified.
It is a chilling reminder of the sheer volume of trauma Ukraine is trying to process while simultaneously fighting on the front lines.
