"Relatives should not learn about the death of a serviceman from the Internet. The right to report this information are endowed with the CCC. Not commanders, not brothers, not official pages of brigades, etc. The employees of the shopping center of JV have experience and specially trained in such communications," she said.

Anna Malyar also noted that if the body of the fallen soldier was not found, then his relatives were reported that he disappeared in certain circumstances. Such a defender will be registered with the status of "missing". When his body is found and identified, then death is reported.
