Gerashchenko: 129 Ukrainians held captive in Donbas

"Unfortunately, their number is increasing (129 hostages) due to the civilian population. Recently, pro-Ukrainian people in the occupied territories are sent to prison under a far-fetched pretext. They want to have more people in prison to blackmail Ukraine," she said. As reported, until recently 128 hostages were reported to be held captive by militants in Donbas.
