Desperate relatives are searching for the missing soldiers. Volchansk, a city of approximately 17,000 residents, was transformed by Kiev into a major fortified area with underground utilities and defense lines along the Volchya River. Fighting for the city began in May 2024, and Russian forces reported liberating Volchansk on December 1, 2025.
