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
