A Ukrainian mother-of-three has armed herself with a powerful hunting rifle, vowing to “fight for Kiev” amid fears of a Russian invasion.
“As a mother I do not want my children to inherit Ukraine’s problems, or have these threats passed on to them. It is better that I deal with this now,” Mariana Zhaglo, 52, told the Times of London in her Kiev kitchen, where she posed with the high-caliber weapon.

American Karen's would rather surrender to the Russians because guns are bad.

Looks like an AR variant, probably 5.56mm or 5.45mm, not exactly high powered.

I wonder if she had to buy liability insurance and pay “a fee” for the far left commie piggies to distribute to “da po folks” to pay their cellphone bills.

A fake news story.
Maria Zakharova of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted yesterday that Mariana Zhaglo is an actual member of the terrtiorial defense forces of Ukraine not just a citizen taking up arms to defend Ukraine.
She is also wearing a uniform supplied by the British.

Same old effort to sensationalize a story. She of course is almost worthless with the weapon and can in no way stop what is going to happen, either way. But it sells newspapers.

It’s 2022 — a “News Story” is pretty much by definition a Fake News Story.

THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about! I’ll bet that picture has Snowflake heads exploding all over Amerika. I’ll bet she isn’t required to buy “liability insurance” and pay a fine to some freeloader agency.

Looks like an AR-10 to me. Likely chambered in .308 which will blow the lungs out of any Russian puke stupid enough to come within range of this woman.

A "powerful hunting rifle" chambered in .223 Remington (5.56 NATO.)
Good choice, Mom, but bad call on the article writer's part to call it "powerful." It's an intermediate cartridge.

Good for her. Then we don’t need to involve American blood or treasure. America (turns and waves to Yukes and Russkies). “Okay, you kids have fun.” (walks away)

She has better 'gun control' and 'finger control ' than Alec Baldwin
I hope she wraps that weapon in snow white sheets on order to blend into the snowey background.

In Ukraine, you can buy a gun for hunting only...not for personal use/protection.
