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.”

      Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.

      Forgive me if I don’t hold my breath… 🙄

        Actually Putin is already a wanted man for war crimes, and he cannot travel to most countries without being arrested.

              Arrest? We now have a POTUS who will offer him room temp cheeseburgers and the location of every SSBN currently under dive, then claim it was a masterful business deal.

          Hungary has already hosted a wanted war criminal. And the US has threatened the ICC for doing their job. So maybe that’s two possible destinations for Vladimir?

            Their home security IT system is a mosquito net made of paper with a post-it note saying ‘no hack pl0x’.

            They had been caught letting the Russians take a quick comfy look around and promptly doing fuck all about it. I guess the Russians assume that it’s the same reason half of the EU/NATO would also know if Putty decided to take a walk in that country.

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

            Hi. 👋 Hello. If you defend a genocide, it doesn’t matter your justification. It means that somewhere down the line, your logic is wrong.

            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.

      Who wants to out down some money in when countries just stop following the Geneva Convention because it’s “a regulatory burden”? Price is Right rules closest without going over.

        Literally President Trump has said that, I believe in his first term. Something about how there shouldn’t be rules in war, and whatever happens/whoever happens to be in the crossfire, happens.

      You are totally right and Putin totally doesn’t give a shit.

      Putin should be arrested and tried for genocide and war crimes the second he steps out of Russia, but since he’s apparently already dying I am afraid we’ll never have the pleasure of seeing the asshole in a little jail cell

      Same for Netanyahu btw…
