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.

    Lemmy would be empty by your standards. Documentation of an event shouldn’t be hard to come by. It’s your perspective of the event that matters

    If it looks like shit and smells like shit, it’s probably shit.
