Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna dies in Russian custody, cause of death yet to be officially confirmed

ai generated text

According to the articles, Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna died in Russian detention. She disappeared in August 2023 during a reporting trip to a Russian-occupied area in Ukraine and was missing for nine months before Russian authorities confirmed her detention. Her loved ones had no idea what happened to her until her father received a letter from the Russian Defense Ministry informing him of her death. The articles do not provide a clear reason for her death, and Ukrainian authorities say she died in Russian detention, but the exact circumstances are not specified.

    1. It's killing. Just the killing of hostages. I don't know other word.
    2. A civilian journalist … captured by Russia. Then Russia sends a letter that she died?

    1. I have official documentation from the Russian side confirming the death of Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna, who was illegally deprived of her liberty by Russia.

    1. They say to Lefortovo. Why there? We don't know.
    2. Taganrog … is known as one of the most brutal places of detention for Ukrainians in the Russian Federation. It is called hell on earth.
    3. Maybe they took her there to start some kind of court proceeding or investigation. That's happened to other civilians taken from Kherson and Melitopol.
    4. That needs investigating. It also means we'd be blaming her, partially, and not the Russian Federation, as we should.

    1. For her, there was nothing more important than journalism. Vika was always where the most important events for the country took place. And she would have continued to do this for many years, but the Russians killed her.

    1. She wanted to provide information about how those cities live under siege by the Russian army.
    2. I was 100% sure she'd be back on 13 September this year. My sources gave me 100% guarantees.
