These people are united by a shared pain and a common goal\u2014<br\/>to uncover the truth.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are taking to the streets to ensure the world does not forget about our missing loved ones.<br\/>We are in a desperate situation, because neither Russia confirms the whereabouts of our loved ones, nor<br\/>can our authorities provide clear answers. But we believe they are alive. They<br\/>are not just numbers; they are people whose wives, mothers, and children are waiting for them,\u201d says one of the<br\/>participants in the rally, whose husband went missing in the Donetsk region back in early 2023.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#182c6e\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Why are these protests important?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>Each of these events is not only a heartfelt cry from the relatives but also a way to keep the issue of the release of<br\/>Ukrainian prisoners of war and the search for those missing in action in the spotlight of public and international attention.<br\/>Participants in the event note that the support of passersby, car horns, and media coverage<br\/>give them the strength to continue the fight.<br\/>The families of the missing heroes are actively gathering any information, communicating with those who<br\/>have returned from captivity, and hoping for an exchange as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campaigns in support of prisoners of war and those missing in action have become a regular occurrence for<br\/>in Uzhhorod.
