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.”

          Thanks for reminding us of Israel’s “free to commit genocide” tickets, we wouldn’t have remembered otherwise.

          Likely dead from ceaseless Israeli Occupation Force bombings. I don’t know for certain either, however, because the genocidal forces won’t let any neutral observers in. And in case you also haven’t been keeping track of how journalists fare in the region, they are regularly executed by Israeli snipers, thus unable to tell us more of the horrors playing out in Palestine.

          Conditions will be the same for both those israelis and the Palestinian civilians. So ask yourself how the Palestinian civilians are doing and you’ll have your answer.

          How are those human shields going? Still using sexual violence against them as a weapon of war?
