Oksana Ivanets is a lieutenant colonel, former border guard, and now a military journalist for the Ministry of Defense's ArmyInform agency. She is regularly at zero, comes under fire, but goes to the front again and again. She writes about the defenders of Ukraine, tells about the torture of Ukrainian soldiers in Russian captivity. Her materials strike a chilling chord with the truth of war.
She records the crimes of the Russian occupiers for the whole world to know about them, and for the facts she has made public to prove the genocide of Russians against Ukrainians in international courts. In the aggressor country, she was labeled as an "accomplice of the punishers".
This means that her weapon is accurate.
She is also a mother of five children, two of whom are adopted. And now she is getting her third higher education.
Lieutenant Colonel Oksana Ivanets tells Gromada about the most frightening and difficult moments since the beginning of the war, about the cases when she could have died, about the career of a woman working among men, about human dignity and dignity, about sexism in the service and humiliation on the basis of gender, and about how to fight it.
