A court has declared dead an energy sector worker from Chernihiv Oblast who had been listed as missing for more than three years. According to case materials, the man was killed in combat — his body was burned inside a tank. For an extended period, neither his family nor the relevant authorities were able to confirm the fact of his death. The court ruling has now placed a legal end point on this tragic story, giving the family official recognition of their loss. The case is one more example of how Ukrainian families spend years waiting for news of relatives who went missing while defending the country.
