Yana "Yara" Rykhlitska, a 29-year-old medic with the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, died near Bakhmut while evacuating wounded soldiers for treatment

Volunteer Tania Vlasiuk reports this.

Rykhlitska worked as a medic at the Bakhmut stabilization center, and was actively involved in volunteer activities.

"When Ukraine wins, remember that half of the work was done by her. That's right. I don't know a unit that wouldn't be grateful to her," writes another friend of the deceased, Tetiana Zenart.

She said that the medical evacuation vehicle came under fire.

"The stabilization point is a place where the wounded receive treatment before being transported to medical facilities. I can't even fathom the number of wounded soldiers there. But when I asked about their well-being, Rykhlitska responded with a message that said, "So far it's fun, we’re safe." However, a few hours later, the medical evacuation vehicle that she was in came under enemy fire,” the message says. 

For reference. 

Yana Rykhlitska was 29 years old.

She lived in Vinnytsia.

In 2010, she graduated from Vinnytsia Lyceum No. 7 named after Oleksandr Sukhomovsky.

She graduated from a university and worked in IT.

In May 2022, she volunteered for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

She served as a paramedic in the 93rd Brigade.

She died during the evacuation of her fellow wounded soldiers.

Yana will be buried in her hometown.
