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.
Pretty sure Florida and DC are back on his vacation list now
You say this like the US has any history of actually arresting war criminal dictators.
In reality they actually have a massive history of backing them and having them be their puppets, UNLESS they’re on Russia’s side. That last part no longer matters
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
quickcomfy 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.
At what point are forces sent into Russia to arrest him?
I guess around the same time they go into Israel for Netanyahu.
Yeah. Him and Bibi will stand trial on the same day.
I woNder whAt kind of Zany person commIts war crimes against journalists.
Saudis, Israelis, Russians, Americans…hmmm. Truly zany persons it seems.
How’re them 7OCT hostages doing these days? I haven’t been keeping track. All back safe and sound, are they?
Did journalists have anything to do with that?
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.
Israel killed them.
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.
All four of those track.
Is an INAZI some new apple product?
iNAZI
Worst iCarly spinoff ever
“Achually, she was a journalist, not a prisoner of war. So we can fuck her shit up.”
- Russian propaganda, probably
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…
From another source:
The investigation revealed that upon examination in Ukraine, it was discovered that several internal organs were missing, including the brain, eyeballs, and part of the larynx.
According to the investigative team, the body showed signs of an autopsy conducted in Russia. An international expert suggested that the missing organs could have been removed to obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation.
Sounds like they mutilated the body to cover up how she died.
I thought they removed her organs, so that they can use them for transplant surgeries, since organs are expensive afaik. But seems thats not the case here since brain, eyes, larynx cannot be transplanted
Someone brough up a theory that it’s a “symbolic punishment” for a journalist:
remove the eyes so you cannot see
remove the brain so you cannot think
remove the larynx so you cannot speak (the larynx contains the vocal cords)
I’m not sure what it says about them that they have this capacity to surprise me every time I heard what next depravity they did.
i wish this depravity from russia surprised me. they decapitated my friend’s dad
And this isn’t even the first time they’ve done this.

Cannot wait for the strongly worded letter and the big story about Putin promenading himself in an ICC country next year.
Right? Laws and Rules of Engagement only have teeth when those whose role it is to enforce them actually fucking do so. We are failing so much on an international level and the future is looking pretty fucking bleak because of widespread cowardice to take action.
I can’t wait for the Lemmy admins to go on another rant about Ukrainian Nazis or some shit.
She worked as a freelance journalist for Ukrainska Pravda, Radio Free Europe, and Hromadske.
According to wiki.
People are disgusting.
"Investigators discovered that several organs were missing, including the brain, both eyeballs, and part of the trachea. According to an international forensic expert consulted by journalists, the absence of these organs could have been intended to obscure evidence of death by strangulation or suffocation. Remembering the Journalists Targeted and Killed by Russia in Ukraine
A bruise on Roshchyna’s neck indicated a potential fracture of the hyoid bone—a rare injury commonly associated with manual strangulation."
So the cause of death is either organ harvesting for medical use, or torture.
UPDATE: It seems to be torture.
This is crazy, it should create a ripple effect of protests in Russia I hope. Its time to destabilize Russia. Much condoleances and may she rest in peace.
Damn, she’s so beautiful too.
Those ruskies will pay for this.
what the fuck dude.
in what universe is that an acceptable comment?
I’d bang her if she wasn’t dead.
👆 that’s what you just implied.
Jesus fuckin Christ man. people have more intrinsic value than the way they look. stop gooning and grow the fuck up.

Probably everyone watching from .world
This sort of shit needs to fuck off. The whole ml Vs world or whatever is so dumb. We are on this tiny social network that feels like the internet of old. Where we meet people online not just the once but likely often as we traverse the fediverse. But this shit, this hatred, does not belong here.
Wait. OOTL is my instance fascist?
Its the most popular instance, and at the same time they allow less than acceptable people
So, while not only having fascists, if they weren’t the biggest instance (which is just another sign of them just being completely against the philosophy of Lemmy and Decentralisation in general, since every normal instance would have just closed their sign-ups by now) they would be long gone
Do you live in some kind of alternate reality? I hang out on .world and any fascist sentiment here is downvoted into oblivion with a quickness. It’s further left than pre-IPO reddit.
Well, if you don’t cut out the infected tissue, you die of cancer.
I might indeed die of eyecancer when looking at your comment.
