The first female Russian soldier killed in Ukraine was buried today as Vladimir Putin faced yet another day of appalling war losses among his high-ranking officers.
Corporal Anastasia Savitskaya, 35, a married mother-of-two said to be a ‘real hero’, was buried today in her native Volgograd, a city on southwest Russia.
‘The deceased became the first servicewoman who died during the special military operation,’ said Alexander Strukov, the local veterans’ leader.
Savitskaya becomes one of the latest Russian colonels to be killed in Ukraine amid the Russian president’s brutal on-going invasion of the country, that has seen Ukraine’s forces put up fierce defence of their country.
