But I believe in our guys: the Armed Forces of Ukraine, territorial defense, doctors, volunteers and all the people who remained to defend our city and our Ukraine.
I know that we will return to our native Irpen, where it will be quiet. Let's build the infrastructure. Glory to Ukraine," Recall that the 23-year-old athlete won the award in the weight category up to 62 kg. For this Olympic medal, the authorities of Irpin gave her an apartment.
