Brazilian model cum sniper killed in Ukraine fighting Russia
Brazilian model Thalita do Valle has been killed in a bunker in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where she went three weeks ago to fight against Russia.
Thalita doubled as a sniper, and had had seen action in Iraq and other war-torn zone as volunteer.
She was reportedly responsible for providing cover from advancing Russian forces.
The 39-year-old died alongside another Brazilian soldier Douglas Burigo.
Burigo, 40, returned to the bunker to save Thalita when the Russians struck. She survived an earlier bombing.
Thalita, a law graduate, documented her conflict experience on her YouTube channel where her videos on fighting ISIS gained her 32,000 views.
Some of the videos include the one revealing how she received sniper training when she joined the Peshmergas, the armed military forces of the independent Kurdistan region of Iraq.
Her brother Theo Rodrigo Viera described her as saving lives and participating in humanitarian missions around the world.
