Rudik, 36, was a member of the Ukrainian Parliament but in recent days, like many of his fellow citizens, he decided to arm himself: «We always wondered what would be the force that would have stopped Putin. They thought it would be a coalition of large countries, but it was us “
“I learned how to use the Kalashnikov. It seems surreal, because just a few days ago it would never have occurred to me. But women will also protect our soil in the same way as our men ”. This is the announcement written on social media by Kira Rudik, parliamentarian and former CEO of the Ukrainian branch of Amazon Ring. The leader of the party Golos (“voice”), 36, under her sentence, posted a photo of her holding the machine gun. “We will shoot to protect the country and those we love” is the announcement in the following post on Twitter, while the videos of the links with Ukrainian TVs scroll: “They are under the stairs, because here we are about to protect ourselves from bombs”.
I learn to use #Kalashnikov and prepare to bear arms. It sounds surreal as just a few days ago it would never come to my mind. Our #women will protect our soil the same way as our #men. Go #Ukraine! 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/UbF4JRGlcy

She is just one of the many women who, together with the men, have decided to defend the country directly on the pitch. “We have always wondered – she explains in another post on social media – what would be the force that would have stopped Putin. They thought it would be a coalition of large countries, but it was us ». On Friday, interviewed by CNN, Kira Rudik explained that «we have been given the guns, and we will be able to resist if the Russian forces reach Kiev. Right now there are explosions behind me, and I feel the glass shaking. But it is my duty to stay and defend the homeland ».
