UKRAINE: Yulia Tolopa, 22, decided to take up arms against her homeland to defend Ukraine's freedom. THE TRAITOR, the career soldier, the librarian, and the amputee chef - meet the women who have put their lives on the line to defend Ukraine. Remarkable photos from the frontline of the war between the Ukrainian army and pro-Russian separatists, show the fearsome females who have devoted their lives to keep the ???aggressors???, reportedly backed by Moscow, at bay. The striking images include a former cook who lost her foot during a bombing raid, a championship brawler prepared to shoot at her own countrymen, and a mother-of-three beaming whilst cradling her assault rifle.
