After Ghost of Kyiv, Charcoal Becomes the Next Ukrainian Hero
“Charcoal” joined the marines in 2017 to impress her younger brother who was already a member of the Ukrainian military.
The Ukrainian army has released the images of a female sniper on Facebook.
“Charcoal” joined the marines in 2017 to impress her younger brother who was already a member of the Ukrainian military.
The mysterious sniper is now dubbed as the new ‘Lady Death’ and has vowed to “take them all out.”
You’ll catch the sniper masked to protect her identity.
She fought in the country’s east against Russia-backed separatists until her contract got over in January this year.
She joined back the forces when Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February according to The Independent.
Speaking of the invading forces, the 41-year-old sniper said, “These people are not human beings. Even the fascists were not as vile as these orcs. We must defeat them.”
“Charcoal” is following the footsteps of famous Ukrainian sniper Lyudmila Pavlichenk famously known as “Lady Death.”
Lyudmila Pavlichenk was a Soviet Sniper in the Red Army during World War II. She has a record of 309 kills which makes her the most effective sniper in history.
She was honoured as a Hero of the Soviet Union, the highest honour bestowed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
Earlier a Ukrainian fighter pilot was termed as the “Ghost of Kyiv” as he was credited with shooting down 10 Russian jets on day 1 of the war.
“Charcoal” too has vowed to fight the Russian invaders ‘to the very end.’
Heroes such as these serve as morale boosters for Ukrainian forces to fight their massive opponent.
