Oksana was the owner of an atelier in Mariupol, sewing civilian clothes, coats, wedding and evening dresses. Once she was asked to dress marines for an officer's ball, and since then her life has been connected with the army. Later, Oksana herself joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After a full-scale invasion, a woman with children finds herself under Russian occupation. Oksana leaves Mariupol on foot, her eldest daughter is captured. Against the background of a shortage of material support in April of last year, the commander of her battalion has the idea "why not open her own sewing shop, if we already have such a professional with 20 years of experience." This business, as Oksana herself says, helped her survive the losses and traumatic events after February 24. She is now the head of the material support platoon's clothing repair shop in the 21st separate motorized infantry battalion of the 56th separate Mariupol brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In fact, she runs a unique sewing workshop on the battalion base. The peculiarity of the production is that the seamstresses sew backpacks, pouches, and other ammunition, analogues of which are not available on the balance sheet of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The workshop is based on the needs of a specific soldier or unit, without waiting for official supplies from the Ministry of Defense.
