Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna tragically died while in Russian detention last month after being missing for months. She disappeared during a reporting trip to a Russian-occupied area in Ukraine and her family was only informed of her detainment in April.
Officials are investigating her death as a war crime and premeditated murder. Roshchyna was known for her dedication to journalism and her colleagues suspect foul play by Russian authorities.
Roshchyna was slated for release in a prisoner exchange before her sudden death during transfer. The circumstances of her imprisonment reveal the harsh treatment of Ukrainian detainees in Russia.
