A mass rally was held in Kiev on Independence Square today, which was attended by relatives of missing servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is reported by the newspaper "Strana" with reference to local telegram channels.

More than a thousand protesters called on the Ukrainian authorities to pay attention to the problems of the families of the missing military.

"They forgot about the family — they betrayed the heroes," reads one of the posters held in the hands of a woman.

The participants of the action said that many families of missing servicemen do not receive assistance. The payments due to them are either issued untimely, or they do not exist at all, and people are forced to collect various certificates for months.
