According to them, the video could not have been shot in March because the woman accompanying the president is believed to be Inna Derusova, a military nurse who died on February 26.... The woman is actually Tatyana Ostashchenko, commander of the Medical Service of the Ukrainian Armed Forces."

Interesting life on fine sources, foreign sources accepted AGF. Striking the original, as ALT1 is more about her merits. I wouldn't mind if you added a bit to that hook about the medal shown, to avoid confusion with the posthumous award. --
