SICK Putin has returned the disfigured body of a tortured Ukrainian journalist - after Russian pawns removed her brain and eyes.
Award-winning reporter Viktoria Roschyna, 27, was brutally beaten to a pulp in occupied Ukraine where she was being held as a prisoner of war.
Vile Vlad's troops sent a body bag to Ukraine, marking the corpse as an "unidentified male".
But DNA testing confirmed the emaciated body - with her head shaved and a neck bone broken - was Roshchyna's.
Ukrainian authorities confirmed there were "numerous signs of torture and cruel treatment".
Investigators also found burn marks on her feet, likely traces of electric shock.
She suffered a broken rib according to local media.
Her eyeballs, brain and parts of her larynx were missing.
Her internal organs were likely removed in a crude attempt to hide the horrifying torture which she was subjected to - a common practice in Russia.

Tragic Roshchyna vanished into Putin's penal hell in 2023 while reporting in Ukraine's occupied territories.
Ex-POWs held alongside Roshchyna said she was detained in Energodar in summer 2023.
Three days after being captured she was transported to Melitopol, where she was held captive for four months and subjected to ruthless torture.
In critical condition, she was then sent to Taganrog's SIZO-2 - an infamous site which has been dubbed a "concentration camp".
A former inmate seemed to disagree and said: "Even the word ‘concentration camp’ would be too mild for SIZO-2."

Dear God I pray, Give this monster and his demons the suffering penance they are DUE in your infinite justice. And do it soon so no more innocents are subject to his evil brutality.
The demonic spirits of Stalin, the hell-currents of the Gulag never dissipated in Russia. Russia never repented. They continue to want revenge for the Soviet collapse, for their lost empire. It’s hard to read this and grasp the reality.
And why is this to be believed ?
My God this is horrible to comprehend. I’m starting to think that war will never end.
We need to hear Russia’s side of this report. Skeptical that Putin would be dumb enough to return a body with clear torture marks.

I say if it’s not in Pravda, it’s not the news
Skeptical, no, just uninformed
There is no Izvestiya In Pravda, and there is no Pravda in Izvestiya.
100% BELIEVABLE, NOT.
the Iraqui’s three the babies out of the incubators so that they could fill them with the yellow cakes!
Good question.
Need verifiable and reliable confirmation - too bizarre.
An age of 27 is given.
This may just be a nit pick. But should they have said, she died at age 27?
Is this a problem, saying this, because perhaps they don’t know when she died?
If that’s the case they should have told us what they know for sure, which would be her age when she was taken hostage.
It’s a British tabloid. I’m surprised it didn’t come with a doctored-up photo showing Putin holding a fork with an eyeball on it as he has lunch.
“And why is this to be believed ?”
1. The body is on hand to be examined.
2. It is consistent with widespread Russian practice during the conduct of this war, as documented by investigators from the International Criminal Court at The Hague, which have tens of thousands of similar war crimes under investigation.
Brutal torture and murder of civilian non-combatant prisoners (political opponents) has been systematic and widespread.
During the initial invasion, Russian Military units were task organized with dedicated FSB (formerly KGB) units, armed with prepared lists of political opponents, specifically to conduct such purges, and oppress political opposition through terror.
Although this was conducted on an Industrial scale in Mariupol, it was in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha where this practice was laid bare for the world to see and document. After Russian forces had to hastily withdraw, investigators from dozens of countries were allowed to examine the torture chambers and mass graves they left behind.
Russia’s heinous violations of the Geneva and Hague Conventions to which they are signatories, was a major factor in rallying World opinion against Russia’s invasion.
Russia’s behavior in the use of torture and terror against civilian non-combatants, under the leadership of former KGB lieutenant Colonel Putin, was consistent with Soviet Military doctrine and practice.
Sounds like a set up to get more money flowing to Ukraine...
She was a pretty girl...Shame...
Hey, take it easy. If you cannot trust a Brit newspaper reporting from a Banderist source, WHO can you trust?
When are people going to realize there are no rules in war, except to do what is necessary to win. Sometimes winning means doing horrible things to the enemy. Sometimes winning means being compassionate or magnanimous. Americans, especially Republicans need to rid themselves of the fictions
of gentlemanly warfare.
