A Ukrainian journalist who went missing more than a year ago while reporting from eastern Ukraine has died in Russian custody. Victoria Roshchyna last made contact with her editors in August of 2023 while reporting from the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region. Her father says he received notice she died in a Russian prison on September 19 and that her body would be returned to Ukraine; no other details of her death were provided. The Committee to Protect Journalists reports at least 16 media workers have been killed covering the war in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in 2022.
