Tortured Ukrainian journalist honored by Kyiv after her death in Russian captivity


An award-winning Ukrainian war journalist who was tortured and killed while in Russian captivity is being honored after her death.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posthumously awarded Victoria Roshchyna the Order of Freedom on Saturday, for her “unwavering belief that freedom will overcome everything.”

”Viktoriia was one of those who spoke the truth about the war. She worked on the frontlines and in temporarily occupied territories, risking her life,” Zelensky wrote on X.
