A 30-year-old “veteran of the war in Afghanistan” is running against Poroshenko

In the city of Severodonetsk in the Donbass (controlled by the Ukrainian side), a 30-year-old woman is running for election to the city council on the list of the Afghanistan Veterans party.

How Ekaterina Olegovna Ponomareva, born in 1981, relates to Afghan veterans is worth guessing.

It is interesting that Ponomareva’s party affiliation is the Party of Petro Poroshenko.
