Farewell to Valentina Nagornaya
Kiev has bid farewell to 3rd Assault Brigade medic Valentina Nagornaya (Valikiria), who died in the war along with her beloved Danila Lyashkevich. The farewell photo was published by “Obshchestvennoye Novosti”.
At the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, Nagornaya joined the army and rescued wounded defenders as part of medical crews and stabilization points. Subsequently, she became a medic in the 3rd separate assault brigade.
The news of Nagornaya's death came at the beginning of the week from the head of the brigade's medical service, Victoria Kovach.
“On February 24, you and I slept on the same mat in one of the schools in Kyiv, where you came to war. In rooms and pits, with all my skepticism about the lack of medical education, you proved in 2022 that you can and will.”, she shared her memories of Valentina.
