Many people pay homage to Olga Semitnova, a woman from Ukraine. Olga, who had been fighting for Russia against his motherland, was killed in an attack by Russian troops.
Olga, 48, was killed while fighting Russian forces in the southern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. He is said to have been wounded early on and to have continued to fight to the point of shedding blood to save those who were with him. Olga’s stomach has been severely attacked during a battle with Russian forces.
His body has not yet been recovered from the area as fighting continues in the area. Thus, in deep grief Olga’s family is waiting to buy the body. Olga Semitnova lived in the Marhanets area, about 241 kilometers from where she died. Olga, a mother of six, has adopted six children.
“He saved the soldiers until his final breath. We have photos of his whereabouts. We could not bury my mother because of the fierce fighting going on there,” Olga’s daughter Julia said in an interview with a private company.
She was previously awarded the title of “Mother Heroine” by mothers who have given birth to more than five children. “He was very active in fighting with Russian soldiers. Despite knowing that his force could not escape, he fought hard to the last to defend his homeland. He was a national hero. He was also a hero to me,” said Anton Krakenko, Ukraine’s interior commissioner.
Although many people are worried about the news of his demise, his heroic deeds are being praised on social media. As a result of the war between Russia and Ukraine, more than 30 lakh people have fled the country and taken refuge in other countries. No casualties have been reported so far in the war.
