Murals, placards and even statues of her holding a Soviet flag have appeared all over the country.
But how did an old woman from a small Ukrainian village turn into a star among pro-war Russians?

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.
More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.
Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Police in London need to move away from criminalising women involved in street sex work in the wake of the disastrous murder case of Simon Levy, officers have told the BBC.
Levy, a convicted sex offender, was left to kill two women and rape another – all of whom were vulnerable and sometimes engaged in street sex work – due to a series of failings, including by the Metropolitan Police.
The BBC was given access to the Met’s new two-officer female team in north London, created in a bid to engage with street sex workers, improve trust, and encourage them to report crimes committed against them.
The team described hearing about endemic levels of male violence against the women they have met.

Classical liars as always. In the video, the Ukrainian flag patch can be seen on the soldiers arms. It would be unbelievable if she had done it thinking those were Russians. And you just shamelessly went there to get your propaganda out of her mouth forcefully.
