An international investigation has revealed that the body of Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, who died in Russian captivity, was returned to Ukraine missing several internal organs, potentially to conceal the cause of death.

According to a joint investigation by Forbidden Stories and 13 international media outlets, Roshchyna’s body was transferred to Ukraine on February 14, 2025, as part of a repatriation operation involving the return of 757 fallen Ukrainians. Russian documents marked the body, listed as number 757, as an “unidentified male” with a reference note: “СПАС.”

    Cannot wait for the strongly worded letter and the big story about Putin promenading himself in an ICC country next year.

      Right? Laws and Rules of Engagement only have teeth when those whose role it is to enforce them actually fucking do so. We are failing so much on an international level and the future is looking pretty fucking bleak because of widespread cowardice to take action.
