‘We are always in close cooperation with police and other services. The last joint search for Kirill with services and local residents of Ishim was conducted in late November last year. Also, around the same time, we had a report that a similar young man was seen in Omsk, but after verifying the report, it was not confirmed,’ said the press service of LizaAlert.

The squad is monitoring this case. But for now, law enforcement does not require the help of volunteers.

In turn, the Investigative Committee has already opened a criminal case regarding the unknown disappearance of Kirill Sergeyevich. Law enforcement agencies are distributing bulletins on him to neighboring regions.

The parents of the missing young man are still bewildered by what happened.

‘Unfortunately, there is nothing new today. And it is unbearably hard because of that. It feels like no one really cares, everything is moving very slowly.

At night, we sleep only 2–3 hours,’ the young man»s mother, Yekaterina Sergeyevich, told 72.RU journalist.
