The inspiring 21-year-old Ukrainian defender, Ruslana Danilkina, who courageously served on the frontline and lost her leg in a combat mission, visits Australia for Ukraine's Independence Day 2024.
At just 18, Ruslana volunteered for the Armed Forces of Ukraine following the full-scale Russian invasion, embodying the bravery and determination of young Ukrainians. Today, Ruslana is a veteran and amputee, bringing her expertise to the Superhumans Centre, a modern rehabilitation centre for adults and children in Ukraine. With the support of the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations and Future Ukraine, she is raising funds for the Superhumans Centre, so that Ukrainians who have been wounded on the battlefield or the street can have the life they deserve.
