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.”

      No, but .ml does have a bunch of tankies who defend Russia or try to distract and muddy the water every time Russia does something abhorrent.

        Well there are a lot of these shits going around the fediverse all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that tankies aren’t sane.

      According to .ml, anyone even slightly right of outright communism should be considered fascist. .ml is one of the more extreme hard left instances, so comments from the instance should be taken with that in mind. It is very heavily censored, so their users only ever see the “China and Russia did nothing wrong” type of rhetoric.

      .world has issues, for sure. It’s the largest instance, and that comes with its own issues. But it’s definitely not 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.
