Its minister, Zambry Abdul Kadir, said he did not want to comment on the matter yet as the ministry is in the midst of gathering more information.

“We will get the information and check the facts first. For now, it’s premature for me to comment,” he told the media when met at the National Defence University (UPNM) here today.

Several photos depicting the MyKad and Malaysian driving licence of a 20-year-old man found on a battlefield went viral on social media recently.

The documents were reportedly found after Russian forces took a Ukrainian position in Levadne, Zaporizhzhia.

Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the documents’ owner was furthering his studies in the country.

Razarudin said he was informed of this following discussions with the student’s family.

He also said Bukit Aman is waiting for the Russian embassy to respond to allegations that Malaysians have been caught up in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
