The Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War will send notifications to the relatives of prisoners of war and missing persons through the Diia app. This was announced by the head of the Ministry of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports
Fedorov explained that the authorities took this step to protect people from fraudsters and Russian fakes.
“Families of prisoners of war and civilians held captive by Russia, as well as families of missing persons, are vulnerable. Russians often take advantage of this and send compromising messages asking for money in exchange for ‘release from captivity’. Or spammers speculate on this topic, attach a link, and then steal the person’s data,”
– he said.
He stressed that when a person goes missing, relatives leave a statement in their personal account on the Coordination Centre’s website. Diia will receive notifications from this account that
- the application has been confirmed;
- information has been added to the case;
- the person was released from captivity.
“If a person was considered missing and then it was confirmed that he or she was in captivity, there will also be a notification in Diia,
– the Deputy Prime Minister added.
