Ukrainian reporter died in Russian detention, Kyiv says
Victoria Roshchyna disappeared in August last year after travelling to Russian-held east Ukraine for a report
A Ukrainian journalist who was captured by Moscow while reporting from occupied east Ukraine has died in Russian detention, according to Ukrainian officials.
Victoria Roshchyna, who would have turned 28 this month, disappeared in August last year after travelling to Russian-held east Ukraine for a report.
She remained missing until April 2024, when her father received a letter from Moscow’s defence ministry saying she was being held in Russian detention, according to Ukraine’s main journalist union.
The circumstances of her arrest were not made public and it was not clear where she was being held inside Russia.
Sad. Reminds me of an Explosions in the Sky album name I have always loved; Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever
RIP, Victoria
Fucking animals!
A tragedy for the family and the colleagues. On the other hand, Putin's cronies were killing their own journalists digging up dirts around the Chechen wars. Nothing to be surprised from those gangsters who took over a gas station.
The people who consistently downvote the mediabiasfactcheck bot should be banned. Unless they come up with one that is better, quit trying to censor it.
If you were to look at the mod logs it’s the same 7 people, repeatedly. That’s brigading.
It’s telling when only posts which are from right wing sites are not downvoted by the brigade.
I just block the bot, because MB/FC is garbage.
I actually agree. I've never heard a reasonable explanation for the downvotes.
Because the information of the bot isn't trustworthy. It highly prefers colonial and right wing media.
Dunno which one it was exactly but IIRC the guardian got a "likely factual" or something rating because a few years back they did a mistake and corrected it a few weeks later. While other right wing media get the same rating despite posting straight up invented articles and facts without corrections.
