Nearly 1,000 people have attended a ceremony honoring the memory of Ukrainian journalist Iryna Tsybukh, who was killed in action while serving as a volunteer combat medic
Nearly 1,000 people attended a ceremony Sunday honoring the memory of Ukrainian journalist Iryna Tsybukh, who was killed in action while serving as a volunteer combat medic a few days before her 26th birthday. Tsybukh was killed while on rotation in the Kharkiv area, where Russia started its offensive nearly a month ago.
Thousands of people wore vyshyvankas, which are usually worn for celebrations, and took turns to approach the casket. Tsybukh's close friends distributed printed lyrics of the songs that she wished to be sung during her funeral, including songs that have become symbolic of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s armed aggression. “We will sing each passing minute, in honor of how she saved the military with every minute,” said one of Tsybukh's friends through the loudspeaker.
