According to the law, a military man can be declared missing within six months.
At the same time, for the issuance of a death certificate, a statement by the commander who saw that his subordinate had died will be sufficient.
The current legislation suggests that a soldier can be declared dead only two years after the end of hostilities, and all this time military families cannot receive the payments and benefits they are entitled to by law.
