“It was my first award. It was valuable to me. But I do not need an award from an institution that does not fully understand what it is like to give up one’s life and, in anticipation of death, defend people and freedom,” Ukrainian soldier Yulia Mykytenko
said in a statement. “God is love. But you are not.”
