A medic of the 3rd separate assault brigade, Sergeant Valentyna Nagorna (Valkyria) and her boyfriend, a fighter of the same brigade, Danylo "Berserk" Lyashkevych, were killed in the war.
This was reported by Novynarnya, as well as by the head of the medical service of the 3rd Brigade, Victoria Kovach, and volunteer Liliya Matveyeva. Kovach shared her memories of Valentyna:
"On 24 February, we slept on the same mat with you in one of the schools in Kyiv where you went to war. In May 2022, in the south, you convinced me that you couldn't sleep when someone was snoring, but you slept well with a disgusting siren wailing inside the room. You also slept to the snores. In basements, dugouts and pits. With all my scepticism about your lack of medical education, in 2022 you proved that you can and you will. A biotechnologist and nail tech who knew the value of life and death like no other. You were in control of the barbell and the lives of people on the headquarter."
"You fought together, loved together, stood together on the defence... May your souls always be together. Forever in the ranks! Valkyria and Berserk," Matveyeva wrote.
