Thalita’s brother, Theo Rodrigo Viera, said she had only been in Ukraine for three weeks, where she had been working as a rescuer as well as a sharpshooter.  In addition to that, it was her job to provide cover from the Russian forces that were advancing. Thalita already survived an explosion in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.


She had warned her family that she would be unable to spend much time chatting on the phone because the Russians were listening in on their conversations on the phone.
After relocating to the city of Kharkiv on the previous Monday, Thalita finally got in touch with her relatives for the last time.
