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.”

Add it to the list. Might take you a while to find the bottom.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 52 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah? Is anybody going to do anything about it?

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 then up for the past years. The rest of Europe is starting to wake up as well. Nobody wants to be next.

We know the answer.

"Achually, she was a journalist, not a prisoner of war. So we can fuck her shit up."

- Russian propaganda, probably

Taking from the Israeli playbook.

Little wonder they're buddying up.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 25 points 9 hours ago

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...

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.

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 44 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 54 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure Florida and DC are back on his vacation list now

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

You say this like the US has any history of actually arresting war criminal dictators.

In reality they actually have a massive history of backing them and having them be their puppets, UNLESS they're on Russia's side. That last part no longer matters

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 hours ago

Yeah. Him and Bibi will stand trial on the same day.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 24 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Saudis, Israelis, Russians, Americans…hmmm. Truly zany persons it seems.

[–] rocket_dragon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 11 hours ago

All four of those track.

Worst iCarly spinoff ever

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.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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.
