Reporters Without Borders (RSF) gathered the evidence on
which this report is based in the course of the investigation
it carried out in Ukraine from 24 May to 3 June 2022.
RSF handed over the evidence to the Ukrainian judicial
authorities and will also provide them with a copy of this
report.
The evidence gathered by RSF indicates that the
Ukrainian photo-journalist Maks Levin and the friend who
was with him were executed in cold blood by Russian
forces, probably after being interrogated and tortured, on
the day they went missing, 13 March 2022.
Levin’s body
and car were found on 1 April in a forest located on what
was the front line north of Kyiv.
