India, April 30 -- The body of a Ukrainian journalist was returned to her home country after she was kidnapped and killed by Russians. Victoria Roshchyna's eyes, brain and larynx had been removed, possibly a move to hide evidence of torture she endured, according to an investigation.

Roshchyna's body was returned to Ukraine in February, after she went missing in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories in August 2023. During an exchange of 757 Ukrainians' remains, the 27-year-old's body was handed over, having been labelled as an "unidentified male," the New York Post reported. A Russian marking, "SPAS," possibly meaning "total arterial damage to the heart," was discovered on the Russian listing.
