Ruslana Danilkina, 19
Hello, my name is Ruslana Danilkina. I am from Odesa. I joined the military when I was 18 years old. I lost my left leg on an operational mission in the Kherson region, as our vehicle was hit by a cluster bomb. After returning from the hospital with my leg severed, I started actively publishing on the Internet and developing social networks. I gained a fairly large number of followers on the Internet, including the first lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.
While serving in the army, I played the role of a network operator and data recorder. I became familiar with many operational processes, communication and data management. Being almost directly on the line of fire every day, I learned to control my fear, keep my composure and strive to achieve my goals. I am unbreakable and invincible.
Although I still intend to get a higher education and graduate from the university in the field of maritime logistics and shipping, I want to work on my business ideas in parallel.
I am interested in learning more about communication and PR. That's why I decided to take part in the Young Veterans of Ukraine project.
