Considering the history of female Ukranian snipers*, she could do worse.

*I refer to the one and only “Lady Death”, Lyudmila Pavlichenko. 310 confirmed kills.

It’s an AR pattern weapon with long barrel, monolithic upper, optic and sound suppressor.

And what qualifies you to deduce that about Her from the picture ?

Do you expect Her to be all smiles and playing with a pink unicorn while stuck in the middle of political bullshit ?

She’s concerned about Her Family, not making the cover shot for the Eastern Block version of Good Flatkeeping or what you and others think about Her Kitchen appliances. For all we know that might have been the top of the line in Her budget when purchased. She might have upgraded from a single hot plate with frayed wires or maybe even a coal or oil fired stove.

Looking out her window you can see she’s living in a row house community...which for Ukraine is probably middle class living. But she looks like our Demorat women...rough around the edges and rather Karen type.

the zboyar rifle shown, that has the reporter in a near-fetal position, is a Russian ompany’s ‘AR’ frame carbine with a 16 inch barrel, chambered n .223 caliber, with a suppressor attached. it utilizes 20- to 30- round magazines.

i am impressed that the Russians actuall have a factory NOT making an ‘AK’ style rifle frame.
Did you catch the reporter saying that the zboyar was a HUNTING RIFLE???
HEY BETO, HEAR THAT???

interesting she has a suppressor on it, does the BATF know about that?????

In Ukraine, suppressors are unregulated. In other EU nations, they are encouraged to protect hearing.

The US is backward on such things.

Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko

309 kills in WWII. Give them all the guns they want, that’s fewer Russian troops we have to worry about at some point in the future.

Good for her. Now all they need is another couple hundred thousand like her.

She's an outlier.

Most of the people who live in the Eastern Ukraine regions that Putin is targeting will welcome the Russians as liberators. Because, they are indeed themselves Russians.

Never mind. Looks like she lives in Kiev, which is about 50/50, maybe more, anti Russian sentiments.

Her kitchen is much nicer than many kitchens I have seen, and even volunteered to work on, in both Russia and Ukraine.

Somebody needs to buy her a bolt action .50 BMG. Nice trigger discipline.

That rifle is civilian legal in Ukraine?

Geez, they have better gun laws than we do!

I’m guessing that is a typical Ukraine kitchen from other photos I’ve seen.

Also, from other photos of Ukrainian folks, that is her happy face showing off her brand new rifle.
