Halyna Demchenko is a participant of the regional contest "Woman of Donetsk Region" in 2025, nomination "Heart in Armor"
Halyna Demchenko was born in the village of Volodymyrivka on September 17, 1989. In 2007, she graduated from Shakhovka secondary school. Since childhood and adolescence, she was known at school and in the village as a fragile, smiling and gentle girl. That is why her choice to become a soldier came as a surprise to many.
Despite the dangers of daily service, Halyna remains unbreakable, firm and strong. She has no sympathy for the occupiers, because she sees with her own eyes the consequences of their crimes: destroyed cities, burned houses, killed civilians and children. Most of all, the soldier's heart yearns for her family: her father and brothers, and especially her 16-year-old daughter. Her biggest dream today is to hug her child as soon as possible.
Ms. Halyna is an example of courage, self-sacrifice and love for her country. She represents her native Donbas at the front with dignity and brings Ukraine's victory closer.
