Kristina Dmitrenko, with weapons in her hands, went to defend Ukraine from Russian occupiers.
Another Ukrainian athlete left to defend the Motherland from the invasion of Putin’s army. The champion of the Youth Olympic Games in 2016, Kristina Dmitrenko, changed sports weapons to fight them and fight the invaders.
The 22-year-old sportswoman is from Chernihiv. In February, the biathlete planned to take part in competitions in Italy, but her plans were destroyed by the war and the girl went to the National Guard.
“On February 14, we arrived at the training camp in the Carpathians, which on the 27th we were supposed to go to the qualification stages in Switzerland, and then to the competitions in Italy. But on February 24, I woke up from notice a friend about the start of the war.
Friends from Chernigov and Kyiv sent pictures of the horror they had to endure. We all understood that it was impossible to get home, so we were sent to the lodging.
I never thought in my life it would be like this. No one can think. But I have no fear of the enemy. I shoot well, so the invaders won’t have a chance.
Even if I temporarily replace my biathlon rifle with a machine gun, but whatever weapon is in my hands, whether I fight or the army, I will stand to the end. Victory will surely be ours, ”Dmitrenko was quoted as saying by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
