On June 8, 2023, while returning home from her job as a nurse, she was hit by a Russian rocket and found herself in the very epicenter of an explosion that caused her to lose her left leg with a 50% chance of survival. Thanks to the teamwork of Chalice of Mercy and the Protez Foundation, Olena received a high-quality prosthetic leg and is now able to walk.
