Ukraine has created a National Information Bureau (NIB) in accordance with international humanitarian law. This was announced on Friday, March 18, by the Ministry of Justice.

“The key goal of this body’s activity is to collect (by all possible means), generalize data on Ukrainian prisoners of war, dead, missing, illegally detained by the Russian Federation, including among the civilian population,” the message says.

The ministry clarified that according to the General Staff, the loss of enemy personnel already exceeds 14,000 troops.

“Our defenders daily capture those who illegally invaded our territory from February 24 of this year to this day. So the lists of both the dead and the prisoners of war of Russia will also be compiled by the Ukrainian side. Their families should know where the Russian authorities sent their children, men and brothers,” the statement stressed.

In the future, Ukraine wants to create “exchange case” or an exchange fund.

With the help of the ICRC, which acts as a neutral intermediary, Ukraine will provide information to the enemy side.

– Such activities will allow Ukraine to once again prove the crimes of the Russian Federation and in in the future, to intensify the process of exchanging prisoners and bodies of the dead with the enemy, the Ministry of Justice explained.

It is reported that “hotline” The National Information Bureau has already started working: 1648 and (044) 287-81-65.

These numbers are used for the initial collection of information and communication with victims. In addition, it will be possible to transmit information via messengers.

The National Information Bureau will be under the control of the Ministry for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories of Ukraine.
