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.

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.
