An international investigation has revealed that the body of Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, who died in Russian captivity, was returned to Ukraine missing several internal organs, potentially to conceal the cause of death.
According to a joint investigation by Forbidden Stories and 13 international media outlets, Roshchyna’s body was transferred to Ukraine on February 14, 2025, as part of a repatriation operation involving the return of 757 fallen Ukrainians. Russian documents marked the body, listed as number 757, as an “unidentified male” with a reference note: “СПАС.”
That makes much more sense because unless some classified shit was tested on her (in which case they probably wouldn’t have returned her body at all) there wouldn’t be any reason to hide the cause of her death. If she was hanged on a short rope or strangled which the (lack of) evidence points towards then that’s kinda not worse than a journalist being murdered any other way. Wouldn’t justify all the fuss at least.
