"Anyone who crosses the Ukrainian border in an attempted invasion will be killed!"

In another post, she wrote that "our military is fighting in such a

way that NATO should apply to join Ukraine."

A series of stories on her Instagram calling for support and contributions to the Ukrainian armed forces, reminders to keep the curfew and calls for active actions such as: "Signs must be dismantled on all roads of the country.
