More than 600 kilometers east of Kyiv, in the village of Yatskivka in the Donetsk region -- part of the Donbas -- Lieutenant Lyubov Plaksyuk was getting ready for another battle. Plaksyuk -- the first woman to head an artillery unit of the Ukrainian Army -- has been fighting in the war since the morning of February 24, when her unit came under what she described as "nonstop total shelling" from the Russian side in the first hours of the full-scale invasion.
