Fier de voir les militaires ukrainiens défiler aux côtés de nos forces. Un symbole de fraternité, de courage et de destin partagé. Pensées au peuple ukrainien qui lutte pour sa liberté et, avec elle, pour celle de tous les Européens.
Soldiers of Ukraine’s 12th Azov Brigade intercepted footage from a Russian FPV drone showing Russian operators hunting down civilian farmers and targeting agricultural equipment in Donetsk region. Another war crime added to the growing list of Russia’s violations against peaceful Ukrainians.
This is the heartbreaking story of ordinary Ukrainians who gave their lives for our freedom: Yaroslava and Serhiy Nikonenko, a father and daughter who gave everything for Ukraine’s independence.
On October 15, 2019, near Maryinka in Donetsk region, 36-year-old soldier Yaroslava was killed by a sniper while serving on the front line, following in her father’s footsteps.
Her father, Serhiy Nikonenko, commander of a reconnaissance unit in the Aidar battalion, had died in January 2015 during an enemy Grad rocket attack on Ukrainian positions. His death became a turning point for Yaroslava — she first supported the army as a volunteer and later joined the defenders herself.
Yaroslava kept her decision secret from her family, fearing it would worry them. Her loved ones only learned of her service after the heartbreaking news of her death.
She left behind a 13-year-old daughter, a living symbol of her family’s courage and resilience.
Eternal memory to the heroes who gave their lives for Ukraine!
