She used to create beauty, now she destroys the enemy: the story of drone operator “Ksena”

Diana, call sign “Ksena”, destroys the enemy using FPV drones in the Unmanned Systems Unit of the 127th Heavy Mechanized Kharkiv Brigade.

Her story was published on the brigade’s page.

Before the war, Ksena painted landscapes and worked in retail and the beauty industry. Today, the 21-year-old serves under the “18–24” contract program.

She has been in the military for almost a year. She quickly mastered the new weapon and continues to improve her skills every day.

Ksena sincerely believes in victory and dreams of the day when she can return to peaceful life and help rebuild the country.

Her journey demonstrates that behind every Ukrainian warrior stands an ordinary person with bright dreams whom the war forced to defend their homeland.

The 127th Brigade is inviting volunteers to join the “18–24” contract program.
