Woman went out to get medicine for her mother and was killed by a Russian tank

The doctor had survived the attacks in Donetsk and decided to move to kyiv.

Valeriia Maksetska left her house in Kiev to purchase medicines for her mother, who is ill. On that exit, towards a town on the outskirts of the city, she was attacked by a Russian tank.

Maksetska was a doctor, who preferred to stay in the country to help people, rather than leave Kiev, fleeing military attacks.

The information of the death was made through a statement from the United States Agency for International Development (ISAUD).

The Daily Star reported that Valeriia was in a car with two other people, including her driver, waiting for the Russian convoy to pass. Just then, one of the tanks fired directly at the car, killing all three of them.

Jamey Butcher, CEO of Chemonics, explained that Valeriia was his employee and that she was killed in a town west of Kiev while looking for medicine for her mother.

Also, Samantha Power, USAID administrator reported that all the people who were in the car died in the attack.

Power said she was deeply saddened to share in the death of Valeriia, who in life was a proud Ukrainian and USAID 's beloved implementing partner. He added that she was a brilliant and compassionate leader in building the fight against disinformation and social cohesion.

She concluded by saying that the Russian army murdered her, a few days after her 32nd birthday.

Valeriia had survived the constant shelling in Donetsk and decided to move to kyiv. There she began to work with USAID, and everyone cataloged her as a woman with a very kind heart.
