A Ukrainian Volunteer Army member, Lani Chornohorska, known by the call sign "Sati," was killed on January 1, 2026, during a combat mission in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. She had joined the Ukrainian Volunteer Army in 2024, preparing drones for combat missions.

Before joining the army, Chornohorska worked as a journalist and was involved in arts and public activities. A fellow soldier, Ivan, recalled her eagerness to participate in combat missions, stating she would hide her technical skills to avoid being kept from the front lines.
