Yelyzaveta, callsign "Mala" ("Baby"), who recently turned 22, serves in Odesa border guard detachment at the front, Mykolaiv region.
Two years ago, "Baby" came to serve as a cynologist. Now she is a shooter in a mobile firing team that hunts down Shahed drones to prevent them from reaching civilians, according to Liza.
Most of the time, the group works at night, they often return in the morning. Yelyzaveta shoots down drones with an assault rifle, which she calls her "combat sister."
"The most difficult duty was when 23 Shahed drones passed over us, they came every two minutes. We didn't even have time to reload, it's very hard when you sit until the morning, until dawn. It is physically hard," she says.
After the victory, Yelyzaveta wants to work as a cynologist or serve in the army.
