On Wednesday, first lady Jill Biden honored women from countries captured by crisis, including Yuliia "Taira" Paievska, a Ukrainian medic who last year spent three months in pro-Russian captivity after her capture near the Russian-occupied city of Mariupol in south Ukraine. More about these empowering women. More about these empowering women. |
