RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service
Nearly 200,000 requests to trace missing people have been submitted to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) from both Ukrainian and Russian families since the start of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, ICRC Director-General Pierre Krähenbühl told RFE/RL.
Investigators are working to determine what caused a power failure that swept through Ukraine and Moldova on January 31, shutting down vital public services from transport to banking, along with residential heating in subzero temperatures.
