Quote: "Our journalist Victoria Roshchina is probably a prisoner of the Russian occupiers. She made videos and wrote articles from hotspots in Eastern and Southern Ukraine throughout all of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

On 12 March, we were unable to contact Victoria. As we learned from witnesses, whom we cannot name for security reasons, the journalist was in temporarily occupied Berdyansk at the time.

On 16 March, we learned that Victoria Roshchina had been detained by the Russian FSB the day before (probably on 15 March). Nothing is currently known about her whereabouts."

Details: The publication notes that efforts had been made to secure the journalist’s release in a non-public way, but without success.
