Award-winning reporter Victoria Roshchyna, who was kidnapped by Russian forces twice last year, has been missing since August 3.
Family and friends say they have not heard from Victoria Roshchyna, 26, since Aug. 3, when she was returning toRoshchyna, who won the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Courage in Journalism Award last year, was captured twice by the Russian military in 2022. After each time she got away, she returned to the front lines to continue to chronicle crimes against humanity.
The Ukrainian Legal Advisory Group, which provides legal support for families of missing Ukrainian citizens, said many people have been held in the occupied Russian territories with no official status—these hidden detainees are referred to as “frozen” prisoners. Roshchyna, a freelance reporter, was working for the Hromadske media outlet when Russia started the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Her hometown of Zaporizhzhia was under artillery fire and the neighboring Donetsk region was being destroyed. While millions of people escaped from the country, Roshchyna continued to report on the invasion.
