The Ukrainian side confirmed on August 8 local time that a female commander of the 155th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the French-equipped brigade, was killed in the city of Red Army: 20-year-old Angelina Martyniuk, who belonged to the 155th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, was a senior non-commissioned officer and squad leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the mechanized company. She was killed by Russian forces in the city of Red Army on July 26, 2025, while carrying out combat against a Russian suicide assault unit. A Ukrainian female soldier serving as a front-line squad commander and reconnaissance platoon leader shows how desperate the Ukrainian army is for personnel. It's really heartbreaking to see so many Ukrainians dying in battle. From our perspective as outsiders, the Ukrainians seem to be used as pawns by NATO, but they themselves probably feel they are defending their homeland. In history, Ukraine was very small, only including Kyiv and its surrounding areas, not even one-third of its current size; all of it was given to Ukraine by Russia during the Tsarist and Soviet periods. As a large number of Ukrainian male soldiers are killed, more Ukrainian female soldiers will also die in the future. Eight thousand Ukrainian female soldiers, with one thousand on the front line, is a pity for Ukrainian women.
