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.

      If my mechanic sets my car on fire I don’t have to be a mechanic to know that that’s a shitty thing to do.
      Why would I have to program a better bot just to criticise the (shitty) existing one?

        Because it’s a feature now, just like the post you chose to come to. These people who constantly brigade need to start their own instance if they don’t like it.

        Or just block it. Take it to another mechanic

        Criticize then block or move on

        I never use it, but whoever is brigading is trying to censor the comment section. I think we have enough of that already.

          So instead of calling out your mechanic you’d just let them burn your car and say nothing?
          Also, it’s not brigading as there hasn’t been (AFAIK) anyone asking other people to downvote.
          Right now you’re defending the car mechanic because other people complain about him burning down cars??

          Edit: So your advice is, run away and never (try to) change anything bad that you see in the world?
