Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, a transgender woman from New York, shared her experience combating Russia’s forces with a Ukrainian battalion.

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, an American who bravely joined the war effort in Ukraine, said her first battle resembled “something straight out of World War I.”

“No foreigner has spent more time in the Russian border zone than I have,” said Ashton-Cirillo, whose family is from the Bronx.
