A Russian female sniper with "the blood of at least 40 people on her hands" has been captured after being wounded and left for dead by her fellow soldiers.
It has been confirmed that Irina Starikova, who is reportedly from Serbia, was seized by Ukraine's armed forces after they released photos of the notorious sniper.
Local media reports that the divorced mother of two, Valeria (11) and Yulia (9), is responsible for "killing 40 Ukrainians including civilians" but had been given medical treatment for her injuries when she was captured.
