Russian intelligence services have created so-called "public organizations" that spread information about prisoners of war online and claim they can gain access to places where captives are held.

In this way, Russian special services obtain important information (extracts from service investigations, personal data, photos of fellow soldiers, etc.) to further manipulate and pressure the families of prisoners, the Coordination Headquarters explains.

KSHPPV urged families not to share personal documents and any information about relatives who are in Russian captivity or are considered missing to unknown persons and pseudo-organizations.
