A Ukrainian journalist who was captured by Moscow while reporting from occupied east Ukraine has died in Russian detention, according to Ukrainian officials.

Victoria Roshchyna, who would have turned 28 this month, disappeared in August last year after travelling to Russian-held east Ukraine for a report.

She remained missing until April 2024, when her father received a letter from Moscow’s defence ministry saying she was being held in Russian detention, according to Ukraine’s main journalist union.

The circumstances of her arrest were not made public and it was not clear where she was being held inside Russia.

    Dunno which one it was exactly but IIRC the guardian got a “likely factual” or something rating because a few years back they did a mistake and corrected it a few weeks later. While other right wing media get the same rating despite posting straight up invented articles and facts without corrections.
