The woman shared her story with Novini.LIVE.
Tatyana recounts that her husband went on a combat mission near the settlement of Terny exactly one year ago, on February 2, 2024, and has not returned. He is considered missing in action.
"The command isn't saying anything, just 'wait, we don't know anything.' No one has come back from that position, not a single person. About two days later, that area was liberated, and the bodies of the fallen were recovered, but my husband was not among them. After that, it was occupied again from the other side, and those positions have been under occupation for a year now,"— the woman clarified.
Tatyana continues to hope that her husband is in captivity. She searches for his information daily on Russian websites and social media but has yet to find any updates on his whereabouts:
"He was studying in Poland to become a driver, but when he returned, he was immediately transferred to the assault troops, on the very first deployment. He called me every time right after coming back from the positions. He promised to call me again after this deployment, but he never did."
Tatyana finds strength in their 3-year-old daughter. She encourages others to fight, never give up, and participate in memorial events for prisoners of war so that others hear about them.
We remind you that the Deputy Head of the President's Office, Iryna Vereshchuk, noted that most cases of missing soldiers occur not at the front, but specifically in training centers. Combat units, however, report incidents in combat units.
According to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleg Synegubov, the search and rescue operation in Izium, Kharkiv region, has been completed following a Russian shelling on Tuesday, February 4.
