Ukraine's Defense Ministry has information on Mariupol defenders, but it's confidential due to negotiations
The Ministry of Defense has information about Ukrainian fighters from Azovstal, but it's currently secret, given the complex negotiation process and the protection of our soldiers.
Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar announced this on the United News telethon, Ukrinform reports.
"Of course, we have all the information, but it is a secret. It is personal data; it is clear. It is connected not only with the negotiation process itself but also with the safety of these people. And so this information is there, but it is not public," said Maliar.
