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.”

        I don’t know where you live, but I do know there’ll probably be a second front in this particular war in a not too far into the future. I have the feeling that the news channels in the US perhaps leave out some of what is happening in the Baltic sea, for example.

        Or the fact that we’ve been preparing to go fuck them up for the past few years. The rest of Europe is starting to wake up as well. Nobody wants to be next.

      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.

          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.

      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…

      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.
