Maria Hordichuk, 51, from Postolivka, Ukraine, lost her son, Ivan Moroz, 33, who was the commander of a brigade, killed in a battle on the front-line in the Luhansk region in north-eastern Ukraine while trying to rescue some of his men on January 12, 2023. He voluntarily enlisted just one month before. "This is not life anymore. My life is broken. I was hoping they would settle down with the grandkids, but that was not the case. Before he went into battle, he texted his wife, ‘please tell everyone, I love you.’"
