'Maybe 1,000 Kiev soldiers captured or missing at Avdiivka' - New York Times. There could be hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers captured in the advance of Russian units or who disappeared during the chaotic Ukrainian retreat from Av diivka.

Estimates on the number of Ukrainians captured and missing vary. A precise count could will not be possible until Kiev consolidates new defensive lines outside the city. But two soldiers familiar with the retreat believe there were between 850 and 1,.000 soldiers. Western officials have indicated that the figure appears accurate.
