KYIV (Reuters) -It's more than a year since Anastasiia Tsvietkova's husband went missing fighting the Russians near the eastern city of Pokrovsk, and she doesn't know whether he's alive or dead.
Russia does not routinely provide information about those captured or killed, and there has been no news from fellow soldiers or the International Red Cross, which can sometimes visit prisoner-of-war camps.
