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.”

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.

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'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.

"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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At what point are forces sent into Russia to arrest him?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

I guess around the same time they go into Israel for Netanyahu.

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?
