Hi, we're with the "Special Operation" from down east. Your papers, please. Hmmmmm. Says here you're a journalist and you are Ukrainian. Get into our vehicle and don't talk or make any sudden moves. You are now a prisoner of the "Special Operation" ordered by the Kremlin to take back lands that belong to the Czar or the King or the Dictator or the Mad Man. Whoops, sorry, Commander in Chief, Esteemed Leader/Director/ Most Venerated Boss/ No. 1 Rus Person.
So, journalist and respected reporter, Viktoria Roshchyna, age 27, was arrested by Russyan army troops. After being beaten while in captivity, she was released. She returned to Ukraine, but decided that the war in the eastern provinces of Ukraine needed reporters to chronicle the lives of those Ukrainians upset by the invaders from Russya. She did, and sent articles to her organization for publication. After another trip, she traveled north to Latvia and Poland and from there, went to Russya at great risk to her own safety. She was arrested again, and held by Russyan authorities. While being transfered to another prison in the country, she died under unknown circumstances. Her body has not been recovered or returned.
At Putin's end of the year publicity stunt, the infamous Q & A period on national TV, nobody asked the question, "What happened to Viktoria Roshchyna?"
And he didn't answer.
Welcome to a modern dictatorship, aka Russya.
