Olha Kharlan, Ukraine’s Olympic champion fencer, also reacted to the deadly attack on Chernihiv city center, passing along her condolences and saying to Russians:
“What a brute.”

After a previous Russian attack on Odesa, she had told Russians that “there is a separate cauldron in hell” waiting for them.
