Kateryna Zakoretska, 35, sergeant major of the 80th Air Assault Brigade of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, died defending Ukraine.

Her eight-year-old son will forever miss his mom.

"Katia loved her family, life and believed in our Victory. After the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, she performed complex combat missions, defending the skies of Kharkiv region, and remained faithful to her military oath until her last breath," the city council said.

Eternal memory and eternal glory to Ukrainian Hero.
