German media called Sarah Ashton-Cirillo “Putin’s number one enemy” in Ukraine, an American transgender journalist who gave up her camera and since October has been fighting for Ukraine. A recent near-death experience on the frontline in Bakhmut and the continuing divisions in American society put her on KremlinTV once again this week.
And she’s not backing down from their attacks, tweeting this morning: “Every time Skabeyeva (Skabeeva) and her staff stalk my feed they will have to see her war criminal face looking back. On behalf of all creatures, I promise this creature ain’t stopping until we have liberty, liberation, and total victory against the Russian terrorists.”

Shrapnel from a Russian artillery shell on Thursday wounded a transgender woman from Las Vegas who is serving in the Ukrainian military.
Sarah Ashton-Cirillo told the Washington Blade that part of the artillery shell hit her in the head and right hand while her unit, the 209th Battalion of the 113th Brigade in the Donbas, was on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.
“I was hit this morning,” she wrote in a tweet. “My injuries are permanent. I’ve lost part of my hand and have scarring on my face.”
A video that Ashton-Cirillo posted to Twitter shows a fellow soldier bandaging her hand.
Explosions can be heard in the distance as Ashton-Cirillo speaks.
“They can’t kill us. They can’t hurt us. Victory is ours. It doesn’t fucking matter. Why? Because we’re Ukraine,” she said. “Ultimately Putin is going to be the one dead … and this is the small price for liberation and freedom. Slava Ukraini! (Glory to Ukraine!)”
Some recent examples from KremlinTV and the hateful Olga Skabeeva, now sanctioned by the United States herself.
And from Sarah herself, defiant as ever. Labels her Twitter account “The Creature” and calls out Skabeeva by name. And she still wears her “Fuck Putin” patch with pride.
