  "account": "Oleksandra Kazarovytska, a teacher from Kharkiv, Ukraine, died while in Russian custody in occupied Crimea, the language school she co-founded reported on Facebook. According to the school, Russia \"killed\" Kazarovytska. She traveled to Sevastopol in the summer of 2026 to assist her parents in selling their apartment and relocating to Turkey, where she and her husband resided. Russian authorities detained her after discovering she had been communicating with a volunteer since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Kazarovytska spent three months in solitary confinement awaiting trial. Russian authorities claimed her death was due to suicide, a claim that journalists and human rights activists dispute, believing she passed away in one of two pretrial detention centers in Simferopol.",
