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.

"Even when she believed her regiment might not survive, she emphasised her desire to protect the country until the end. She is a national hero. She is a hero to me."
48-year-old Olga Semidyanova died in battle with Russian Armed Forces. She had been a Military Medic since 2014 in the Donetsk region.
