Missing items on iCLoud Desktop

Dears, this morning I found all my files/ items placed on Desktop missing. Desktop is synced on iCloud. Please advice how to get them back. No other iCloud files are missing (Documents, Downloads and etc.)

Move items to your Mac and remove them from iCloud Drive

On your Mac, drag items from iCloud drive to another folder in the Finder sidebar or on the desktop, such as Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures.
The items are copied to your Mac and removed from iCloud Drive on all your devices set up for iCloud. If you change your mind, you can drag items back to iCloud Drive.
