💔 Ukraine’s defender Natalia Ryabichenko is returning home to Lutsk on her shield.
She was 50 years old. Born in Donetsk, she lived in Avdiivka and worked at a factory.
In 2014, the war drove her from her home. Her family moved from city to city before eventually settling in the Lviv region.
Natalia chose to serve Ukraine, joining the Border Guard Service in 2017. From then until her final day, she defended her country with a weapon in her hands.
On September 1, 2026, Natalia was killed in battle near Kupiansk. She leaves behind her husband, daughter, and elderly mother.
To her family, she was a wife, a mother, a daughter — the person who brought warmth and love and held everyone together.
Her husband says there was no better person in his life. By her side, he was the one who felt protected.
Natalia will be laid to rest in Zakarpattia, where her mother lives.
Eternal memory to Natalia. Deepest respect and gratitude for her sacrifice. 🇺🇦
❤️🩹🇺🇦✊
