Over five months have passed since Victoria Roshchyna died in Russian captivity with Russia still refusing to hand over her body or explain how the 27-year-old journalist died. Slidstvo.info investigative journalists, together with Suspilne and Graty, and the international NGO Reporters without Borders, have carried out their own investigation, and presented important information about why Vika set off for occupied Zaporizhzhia oblast, despite the obvious danger, where she was seized, and how she came to die in Russian captivity. Most of the new information has come from the people she was in contact with before her abduction, and a cellmate, later freed, who has described the torture to which Vika was subjected and her state of emaciation, weighing less than 30 kilograms only months before her death.

Victoria Roshchyna had already been abducted by the Russian invaders once, from occupied Berdiansk in March 2022, just after she wrote a report for Hromadske on the situation in occupied Enerhodar. On that occasion, she was held for ten days and released on 22 March 2022.
