Tears as Russian strike kills another Ukrainian film star
Popular Ukrainian film star Oksana Shvets has been killed in a Russian rocket attack on a residential building in Kyiv.
A statement by Young Theater, a troupe she was part of, reads: “During the rocket shelling of a residential building, a well-deserving artist of Ukraine Oksana Shvets was killed.”
Oksana’s death makes it the second in the film industry since the invasion by Russia.
The late actress was reportedly 67 and gained popularity working in theatre and film for decades and her efforts garnered one of Ukraine’s highest honours, the title of which roughly translates as “Honored Artist of Ukraine.”
Actor Pasha Lee was reported dead earlier this month after joining troops to defend the country. Nation
