A former journalist from KievOlena began her military career as a volunteer sniper in 2014 before joining the army as an officer in 2018 and two years as a commander in Donbas.
She was demobilized in 2020, but when 70-year-old Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Olena immediately returned to the front lines.
And she now serves in the Ukrainian Artan Special Forces, leading courageous and daring missions in the fight against Russia's powers.
On the future Olena – who has at least ten confirmed murders to his name – believes the tyrant “will not live long to see the international tribunal where he will be tried”.
She told The Sun: “When Russia's elite realize that Putin's rule is becoming unprofitable for them, he will be poisoned or otherwise murdered by his own henchmen.
'Of course I would kill him if I could, but it is unrealistic for me to have such an opportunity.
“The next one The Russian leader will not be a friend of Ukraine.
'But he will have to seek peace with Western countries to rebuild the war-torn country Russiaand will therefore make some concessions.”
Asked to describe Putin, Olena said simply: “An inadequate person.”
But the Ukrainian sniper added: “If Putin succeeds in conquering Ukraine, his next victims will be Moldova. Polandthe Baltic States, and Finland.
'Putin has already threatened Finland over his accession NATO.”
Olena was first stationed in Dnipro as a volunteer sniper after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014.
She was involved in the campaign to allow women to serve in the Ukrainian army – which was legalized in 2016 – and became an officer in 2018.
Olena rose through the ranks and served for two years as an artillery platoon commander in Donbas.
When she demobilized in 2020, she resumed her life as a citizen, writer and veterans advocate. celebrity status in Ukraine because of her best-selling book called Diary of an Illegal Soldier, about her time in the trenches.
But Olena did not hesitate to return to the front lines with her soldier husband in 2022 to fight against Putin's troops.
“When I was demobilized, I already knew that if the situation at the front deteriorated, I would immediately return to the army,” she said.
“A few days before the start of a large-scale Russian invasion, when it became clear that it was inevitable, my husband, I and my brothers in arms, with whom we had been fighting together since 2014, signed up for one of the army units.
“And on the morning of February 24, 2022, we arrived for duty.”
For Olena, February 24 was the worst day of the war when Putin's troops tried to storm the capital Kiev.
“It was scary: if the occupiers had captured Kiev, they would have killed my parents,” she said.
“When we drove the enemies out of the capital, morale became easier.”
Olena compares today's fight against Russia to the fighting in 2014 and 2017 and says the nature of war has become more difficult.
'From the enemy drones are very annoying – no matter what you do, the enemy almost always sees you,” she said.
“There are also positive points. Now there is no prohibition on attacking not only temporarily occupied territories, but also enemy territory of Russia.”
As an officer, Olena plans and leads raids and missions with Ukraine's defense intelligence unit Department of Defense.
And she says she's not afraid of fights.
“Adrenaline works. In a fight you just work. It's scary before the fight, but I can control this fear,” she said.
“Each of us has determination. We are all volunteers in the unit, they are all motivated, we all want to protect our state, otherwise we would not be here.
“There is some hesitation in planning the details of the mission.
“But we never hesitate that the mission must happen and that we must participate in it. And we feel that pride after a job well done.”
What's happening in Ukraine?
The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in February 2014.
The latest bout of fighting was sparked by Putin's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, when the Russian president announced a “special military operation” to “demilitarize and denazify” the country.
Rockets and airstrikes hit all of Ukraine, including the capital Kiev, followed by a major ground invasion along multiple fronts.
Volodymyr Zelensky declared martial law and mobilized all male Ukrainian citizens between the ages of 18 and 60 – and they were banned from leaving the country.
War has been raging ever since – creating the biggest refugee and humanitarian crisis in Europe since the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.
The UN also called it the fastest growing conflict since World War II.
As of August 2023, the number of killed or wounded Russian and Ukrainian soldiers was estimated at almost 500,000.
The situation on the ground has changed little in recent months, despite Ukraine's counter-offensive that began in June.
As the war against Putin continues, Olena said Ukraine must continue to fight to take back control of its internationally recognized territories within the 1991 borders.
“After that, Ukraine should isolate itself from Russia with a reliable and highly fortified border, strengthen its military and ultimately join NATO,” she said.
“Russia is fighting us not because it does not like the current Ukrainian government or the Ukrainian political course, but because it is not satisfied with the existence of Ukraine.
'If Russia is not defeated on the battlefieldit will not stop conquering Ukraine.
“Like history And practice shows that Russian politicians never keep their promises. They will break any peace treaty they sign.
“There is nothing to discuss and negotiate with them.”
In 2022, when images emerged of Olena shooting Russian separatists, she told The Sun she would not hesitate to kill again if Putin's forces invaded – and she felt no remorse.
She said: “Moral anguish over the murder of a human being was created by people who were far removed from the war. An armed enemy is not a person, but one goal.
“You're taking up a weapon against my country – that's all, you're a target. If you don't take him out in time, he could kill you or one of your comrades.
“If I didn't shoot in time and the target hid, I'm angry with myself because I missed my chance. And when the goal is achieved, I feel the pleasure of a job well done.
“If the enemy comes to our position to kill me, does he think whether I have a husband, parents or children? – of course not.
“That stuff is for books and movies. Anyone who thinks like that in battle is as good as dead.”
Olena's husband Valeriy Voronov – a regular soldier who sat next to her in the trench – collected the shell casings that fell when she carried out her double murder.
And later he made her a silver ring with the bottom of a bullet cartridge in it, according to a sniper tradition to date back to the First World War.
Olena – left with paralysis in her right cheek when a machine gun bullet grazed her face during a firefight – shattered the Hollywood portrayal of the sniper's role.
She said: “In the movies it looks like a sniper is seeing the eyes of a living person. But you can't see the eyes.
“You just see a silhouette of an armed person and you shoot it. That's all… if you miss, you'll feel like you lost.”
