According to this information source, by her own admission she has been responsible for a minimum of 10 kills. “She would receive her instructions from her superiors in the form of photographs of the officers she would be expected to shoot,” as revealed in an interview with her. According to the journalist involved, the young woman explained that she and other females in their subunit underwent training in Krasnodar after having been recruited by the (Russian) FSB.

According to the various postings she herself has made on social media, this 19 year old woman, along with other young women, belonged to a terrorist subunit. Their base of operations is located in one of the student resident buildings of the Donetsk National University.

In the photo they are shown to be armed and deployed at Sloviansk. The photo is dated December, 2014, at a time when Sloviansk has been under the control of the (Ukrainian government) ATO forces.
