Olha Kurtmalaieva's husband, a Ukrainian marine, remains a captive in Russian captivity.

Hundreds of Ukrainian women are still trying to bring home their husbands, sons and brothers.

Olha was just 21 when she learned she had cancer, Stage 2 , Stage 4 , and it was incurable.

Her husband, Ruslan , a professional soldier, had already served on the front line.

Olha 's lymphoma, left untreated during occupation, progressed to Stage 4.

She left Berdiansk in June of 2022 and moved to Kyiv to raise awareness about Ukrainian POWs.

Now she juggles civic activism with running an online cosmetics store.

In close contact with former prisoners, Olha gathers fragments of information about Ruslan , still in captivity.
