In the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Olga Semidyanova, a famous doctor who once served in the military, was martyred during a firefight in the city near Donetsk in the south of the country. The 48-year-old was said to have remained battling after much of her squad had been killed.
Semidyanova was hit by a shot in the stomach, according to her family members, but her body has yet to be brought back due to the ongoing fighting in the area, leaving her family devastated. The 48-year-old was the mother of six children and had also adopted six more from a nearby orphanage.
The doctor, who had served in the military since 2014, was given the title of 'Mother Heroine.' She was shot on March 3 near the city of Marhanets, around 150 kilometres from where she lived.
