Viktoriya Roshchina

Viktoriya Roshchina was a Ukrainian journalist who was captured by Russian forces in August 2023 while investigating the involvement of the FSB in the abduction of Ukrainians in the Zaporizhzhia region. Tragically, her body was returned to Ukraine in 2024 under suspicious circumstances, with reports indicating that several of her internal organs had been removed, raising concerns about torture and human rights abuses during her detention. Roshchina's case highlights the ongoing plight of Ukrainian civilians during the conflict, and her story has become emblematic of the broader issues of abduction and mistreatment faced by individuals in occupied territories.
