Brazilian sniper model killed in Ukraine

She had been on humanitarian missions all over the world, and before, she even fought against it. I SIS in Iraq.

Foreign media report that Thalita do Valle died on June 30th in a Russian missile attack in the town of Kharkiv, in the north-East region of the war-torn country.

The attack also led to the death of former Brazilian Army soldier Douglas Burigo, 40, who returned to the bunker to find Thalit. She was the only member of the troops who remained there after the first missile attack.

The model had received training for use of snipers as it joined the armed forces of Iraq's independent Kurdish region. Thalita also studied in Justice and participated in the survival of animals with the nongovernmental organisation and worked as models and actresses when she was younger.

Her brother Theo Rodrigo Viera described him as a heroin with vocal power to save lives and participate in humanitarian missions.
