- I'm not a woman. I'm person.
I'm a citizen of this country.
I'm a soldier, a sergeant, a combat medic,
and I need to protect this country.
We are in Kyiv, and you even can hear air-raid sirens now.
Just the usual -- what is it?
-- Saturday in Kyiv or Tuesday or whatever.
To keep our capital, I think it's the most important thing
because the capital is the ideological point.
It's the heart of the country.
So, like I said, evacuation trains are overfilled
with peaceful civilians, with pregnant women and so on,
and it would be a shame for a military man
or a military girl to try to leave this city.
[laughs]
I realized I cannot stand just sit at home.
I needed to do something
that will be important for my country.
Maybe tough, maybe hard, and even may kill me,
but I will be useful for people.
I won't just live for myself.
I need to be one of the lights here in this darkness.
I'm a little bit tired, but it will be after our victory
-- after our victory --
I will live for myself and fulfill all my plans
that were ruined by this war.
Combat medicine is all about improvising.
They respect me.
They know that I'm a very good specialist,
and they've already seen me in some situations,
sometimes very tough situations.
One of the guys even told me after some hot moment,
"I was so excited.
I was so excited," he told me.
"And you were just so calm, so cold-blooded.
How did you do this?"
[laughs] My beloved person is also deployed now
to the south of Ukraine.
I'm worried about him even more than for myself,
like any woman will do.
Women are much stronger than men, I think.
We can dive just right into the fire and feel calm
but feel worried about our men.
They live now in a bomb shelter --
not a very warm place to be, but oh, well.
The most important thing -- that most of them alive,
and he's alive.
So, we just need to stand strong until our victory.
Many of my friends of female sex always told me
that I'm like an example for them.
So, it's nice to hear this.
We all are enraged that Russian troops ruined all our plans.
We stand for our homeland, and they are on foreign lands.
I don't know what the fuck they are doing here.
Better go home.
