Back when the full invasion started and Russian soldiers began to officially occupy new Ukrainian territory, Svitlana was one of the civilians directly confronting & cursing the armed soldiers. She told them to put sunflower seeds into their pockets, so that their rotting corpses would act as fertilizer, and consequently became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance when the videos went viral.

Original video.

The stuff of legends. So glad to know she's still out there.

Truly one of the most inspirational moments of the war. Resistance!
