The final letter by Hospitallers battalion paramedic Oleksandra “Mike” Mulkevych surfaced on social media on Friday.
In her final message released after 19-year-old woman died in a drone attack on August 14, she wrote,
“If it comes to the point where this needs to be read, know this: there is no greater honor for a warrior than to die in battle.”
Mulkevych saw this warrior spirit as part of Ukrainians’ character—some fight on the battlefield, others battle corruption or seek justice. “We are a fierce and freedom-loving nation,” she wrote.
The paramedic’s final words reflect her love of Ukraine:
“I was fortunate to be born in the greatest country in the world—Ukraine, and it is a country worth dying for. But even more, it is a country worth living for. To live so fully that it feels like multiple lifetimes. To raise young Ukrainians with love for the world, in strength and resilience. To show them the beauty of Karadag, the salt mines of Donbas, the slag heaps, the protected spits, the estuaries, the largest caves, and the red rue.”
Oleksandra Mulkevych will be laid to rest in Kyiv on August 17.
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
