Zaporozhye journalist Irina Dubchenko was kidnapped by invaders and is going to be "tried".



This was reported by the Telegram channel of the NUJU (National Union of Journalists of Ukraine).

The media worker was detained in Rozovka, Zaporizhia region, and taken to Donetsk “to carry out investigative actions in connection with harboring and supporting a Ukrainian serviceman.”

Our parents went to Rozovka on March 28 to take out my bedridden grandmother and my sister, who looked after her and worked there remotely as a Ukrainian media journalist. Parents found out that Irina was taken away. The local commandant first said that the women were not detained, and then admitted that she was arrested and held in Donetsk, - said Oleksandra Dubchenko, the sister of the journalist.

The key accusation that the occupiers bring against Irina is harboring the house of a seriously wounded Ukrainian soldier.

“During the searches, my sister said that she was looking after her husband, but she was told that they knew everything about her relatives and her journalistic activities,” comments Alexandra Dubchenko. “They answered that you were lucky that you have a small child, otherwise they would have been shot you in place."

The woman has a small child who is still 4 years old.
