The Title of Hero of Ukraine Awarded to a Woman

Inna Derusova is the first woman in Ukraine to receive the title posthumously

Since February 24, Inna Derusova rescued Ukrainian soldiers. She worked as a senior military medic in Okhtyrka. From the first day in Okhtyrka, Sumy region, Russian occupiers destroy everything. 

The doctor managed to save more than 10 Ukrainian soldiers. But on March 13, it was reported that a female hero was killed by artillery shelling of Russia.

The government of Ukraine has decided to award Inna Derusova the title hero of Ukraine posthumously. This is the first case in the history of independent Ukraine.
