WPF is deeply saddened by the death of Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roschyna, who died under unclear circumstances while being transferred to a Moscow prison. The circumstances of her death remain uncertain, but one fact is clear: the Kremlin bears responsibility.

On July 1, 2024, Ukrainian authorities reported the detention of Zhanna Kyselova, a journalist and former editor of the newspaper Kakhovska Zorya, by Russian occupying forces in Ukraine’s Kherson region. Kyselova was detained at her apartment in Kakhovka on June 27, and her current location remains undisclosed.
