Vladimir Putin has lost his first woman colonel, nicknamed his "she-wolf", in the war in Ukraine after a missile hit her car.
The warmonger leader granted posthumous Hero of Russia honour - the Kremlin’s highest award - to Olga ‘Kursa’ Kachura, 52.
She was a colonel in the forces of Russian puppet state Donetsk People’s Republic, where she commanded a rocket artillery division deployed against Ukraine.
