Victoria Roshchyna, a Ukrainian journalist captured while reporting from occupied east Ukraine, has died in Russian detention, sparking widespread outrage and calls for accountability.
Petro Yatsenko, spokesperson for Ukraine's prisoner of war coordination headquarters, said, 'It is too early to talk about the circumstances of the death; we are working to establish them.'
Reporters Without Borders expressed shock at Roshchyna's death, stating on social media, 'This is a tragic reminder of the risks journalists face when reporting in conflict zones.'
Amidst reports of thousands of Ukrainians detained for opposing Moscow's rule, rights groups highlight the torture and harsh conditions faced by those in Russian captivity.
