Ukrinform correspondent Olha Zvonaryova is learning to walk after being severely wounded by a Russian missile strike on Zaporizhzhia on April 5, 2024, the journalist announced on Facebook.

"I never thought that I would be learning to walk at 40. A very advanced task, to be honest, but doable. I am certain of it and I'm going for it, on my two feet (which is what matters)," the journalist wrote.
