Kyiv calls for international action over Russia’s alleged execution of captured Ukrainian soldiers
A colleague of Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna holds a photograph of her during an event in honor of Victoria's memory at a makeshift memorial for fallen Ukrainian soldiers, at Independence Square in Kyiv, on Friday.
The EU said it was “appalled by the reports about the death of Ukrainian freelance journalist Victoria Roshchyna while in illegal arbitrary Russian detention ... Her fate is a tragic reminder of the many thousands of persons detained in occupied Ukrainian territories and Russia, as well as the repression imposed by Russian authorities, also in Russia.”
The US embassy in Kyiv was “deeply troubled” by her death and said it “highlights Russia’s ongoing kidnapping and imprisonment of journalists, a blatant attack on free media and truth. Russia will be held to account.” “These actions should not go unpunished, and the enemy should bear all responsibility. Russia is a terrorist country that violates all the rules and customs of war. The international community should not turn a blind eye to such crimes!” Ukrainian human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets wrote on social media.
