Here is the English translation:
Valentyna Nikitina, a resident of Volodymyrivka in Volnovakha district, was killed in a mortar attack on June 10, 2022. She was in the yard near her apartment building, where she and her husband were preparing food. After being wounded, she survived only a few minutes.
Valentyna Petrivna remained in the settlement because she could not leave her ill husband, who required constant care. The couple sheltered from shelling in a five-story residential building. When heating, water, and electricity were cut off, residents began cooking over open fires.
She was born in Novotroitske and worked as a cook and butcher. Together with her husband, she raised two sons. Her family remembers her as a kind, strong, active, and cheerful person for whom family always came first. She loved cooking, especially baking, and always took care of her loved ones.
Valentyna is survived by her younger son Andrii, daughter-in-law Svitlana, granddaughter Anastasiia, and other relatives.
