1. 🕯️💔 She was in the Ukrainian Air Defense Forces, Kateryna Zakoretska — served in the Kharkiv Oblast. She was 34-year-old, and was killed in action on May 16th, 2024, by a Russian rocket attack.

   She was from the city of Lyubotyn – in the Kharkiv Oblast.

   She leaves behind her (8-year-old) son.
