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.
An expert told Important Stories: "The larynx can be important evidence in cases of strangulation.
"When a person is strangled, the hyoid bone [in the neck] is often broken.
The expert continued: "Haemorrhages can be found in the whites of the eyes, and oxygen deprivation can be detected in the brain."
Putin's raging TV mouthpieces turn on Trump & vow to continue the war in Ukraine
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."
She had fevers, her menstruation stopped, and she suffered from abdominal pain.
Yet the heroic reporter rejected her captors, and reportedly told guards "I will never cooperate with you".

Roshchyna worked for digital media organisation Hromadske TV among other outlets.
She will go down as another tragic victim of Vladimir Putin 's meatgrinder war in Ukraine - which also took the life of a 12-year-old girl over Monday night.
It comes as mad Vlad's top TV puppet blasted Donald Trump in a bile-filled rant and vowed more slaughter in Ukraine, days before Russia's own ceasefire is due.
Vladimir Solovyov revealed Putin's intention to keep killing, abandoning the pretence that Russia supports Trump's peace mission.
Meanwhile, Zelensky hailed the "liquidation" of Russian generals by Ukraine's spies after one was blown up by a car bomb in a suspected Ukrainian hit.
Russian military head Lieutenant-General Yaroslav Moskalik was pulverised by a car bomb in Moscow last week.
Terror drone attacks continued to ravage Ukraine.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region a 12-year-old girl was killed, and other children were pulled alive from the rubble following a devastating strike.
A six-year-old girl and two adults were wounded in the attack.
And in Kyiv, a three-storey recreation centre was burned to the ground by a strike, leaving one woman injured.
Last week, The Don blasted Putin for "stringing him along" hours after historic peace talks with Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky and Trump were pictured meeting for the first time since their historic White House spat just before Pope Francis' final farewell.

'Putin shouldn't have a veto': TD says triple lock debated must avoid misinformation
Fine Gael TD Catherine Callaghan has said the current debate over changes to Ireland's triple lock needs to be grounded in facts and not misinformation. Ms Callaghan is a member of the Oireachtas Committee on Defence and National Security. Advertisement Ms Callaghan, a TD for Carlow-Kilkenny and a former member of the Defence Forces who served in Lebanon, has said that under the current triple lock system, countries like Russia and leaders like Vladamir Putin have the power to veto Ireland's participation in peacekeeping. 'We don't believe that Putin or others should have a veto on whether our troops can be deployed on peacekeeping missions. 'Currently members of the UN Security Council bind Ireland's hands on peacekeeping missions, when these are decisions that should be made by our Government and the Dáil." Ms Callaghan pointed to the fact that no new peacekeeping missions have been approved by the UN Security Council since 2014. Advertisement "This has meant that Irish peacekeepers have in some instances been delayed from engaging in missions to disrupt human smuggling and trafficking and maritime drug seizure operations," she added. 'This shows the absolute need to reform the UN Security Council which Ireland will continue to push for, but with that unlikely in the immediate future, we need to act in our own interests as an independent country in accordance with International Law and the UN Charter. 'In recent days, I have heard opponents of the proposals currently being examined by the Oireachtas Committee on Defence and National Security claim the UN General Assembly can approve peacekeeping missions and there is no need for a green light from the UN Security Council. 'But this is simply not the reality of how the system has worked over the last seven decades. While the General Assembly can make recommendations about deployments, it cannot compel countries to act. Advertisement 'Only once in history has the General Assembly invoked a Resolution to recommend a peacekeeping operation - and that was nearly 70 years ago when it established the first UN Emergency Force in the Middle East in 1956." Ms Callaghan is a member of the Oireachtas Committee on Defence and National Security. Ms Callaghan added: 'The context back then was absolutely unique where it had the consent of the parties involved - Egypt, France, Israel, and the UK - and the recommendation was in line with the priorities of four of the permanent members of the Security Council. 'The reality for the last nearly 70 years has been that every Defence Forces peacekeeping deployment has only ever taken place on the basis of a Security Council mandate. This underscores the rationale for removing the Putin veto." Ireland Neutrality 'completely unaffected' by triple lock... Read More She said removing the triple lock has "nothing whatsoever to do with military neutrality". Advertisement 'We value our neutrality and we are remaining militarily neutral. Ireland was militarily neutral for decades before the advent of the term 'triple lock' around the time of the Nice and Lisbon Treaty debates and it will continue to be neutral if these changes are passed through the Oireachtas and become law.' In an interview with in April, Minister of State Neale Richmond said: "Ireland's triple lock mechanism for deploying troops abroad is an archaic tool that is hindering our ability to be a global force for good whilst surrendering our sovereign decision making to the veto powers of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. "Given a UN mandate can be vetoed by any of the five permanent Security Council members, we are effectively giving the likes of Russia and China a veto of where and when we send our own troops."

Deadly Russian attack hits eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv
The first wave on Ukraine's second-largest city was a large Russian drone-and-missile attack in the early hours. It killed at least three people and wounded 21 others, according to local officials. I received a report from our team on their visit and meetings in the United States. Defense support for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, diplomatic prospects, as well as the defense of freedom and countering Russian disinformation. We gave our partners a detailed overview of… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 6, 2025 In the afternoon, Russia dropped aerial bombs on the city centre, killing at least one person and wounding five more, Kharkiv's mayor said. The warring sides also accused each other of trying to sabotage a planned prisoner exchange, nearly a week after Kyiv embarrassed the Kremlin with a surprise drone attack on military airfields deep inside Russia. Saturday's barrage – the latest in near daily widescale attacks on Ukraine – included aerial glide bombs that have become part of a fierce Russian onslaught in the all-out war, which began on February 24 2022. Ukraine's air force said that Russia struck with 215 missiles and drones overnight, and Ukrainian air defences shot down 87 drones and seven missiles. Russian strikes hit a residential building in Kharkiv (AP) Several other areas in Ukraine were also hit, including the regions of Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, and the city of Ternopil, Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha said in an X post. 'To put an end to Russia's killing and destruction, more pressure on Moscow is required, as are more steps to strengthen Ukraine,' he said. The Russian defence ministry said its forces carried out a night-time strike on Ukrainian military targets, including ammunition depots, drone assembly workshops, and weaponry repair stations. There was no comment from Moscow on the reports of casualties in Kharkiv. Kharkiv's mayor, Ihor Terekhov, said that the strikes also damaged 18 apartment buildings and 13 private homes. Mr Terekhov said that it was 'the most powerful attack' on the city since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. At least four people were killed (AP) Kharkiv's regional governor, Oleh Syniehubov, said the morning's attacks saw two districts in the city struck with three missiles, five aerial glide bombs and 48 drones. Among the wounded were two children, a baby boy and a 14-year-old girl, he added. Six people are believed to be trapped under the rubble of an industrial facility in Kharkiv's Kyiv district, The Kharkiv prosecutor's office said in a statement on Telegram. Contact with those trapped was lost and rescue attempts have been ongoing since early afternoon, it said, without naming the facility. On Saturday afternoon, Russian aerial bombs struck Kharkiv again, killing at least one person and wounding five others, the mayor said. Today, rescue and emergency operations continued all day across various regions and cities of our country. Over 400 drones, more than 40 missiles were launched by the Russians. 80 people were injured, and some may still be under the debris. And unfortunately, not everyone in the… — Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) June 6, 2025 The morning strikes also wounded two people in the Dnipropetrovsk province further south, according to local governor Serhii Lysak. Meanwhile, Russia's defence ministry said that its forces shot down 36 Ukrainian drones overnight, over the country's south and west, including near the capital. Drone debris wounded two civilians in the suburbs of Moscow, governor Andrei Vorobyov reported. A US-led diplomatic push for a settlement has brought two rounds of direct peace talks between delegations from Russia and Ukraine, though the negotiations delivered no significant breakthroughs. But both sides remain far apart on their terms for an end to the fighting.
