Valentina Shevchenko commemorated Victory Day by posting photographs of Soviet female pilots she had previously mentioned. The UFC champion shared images of Marina Raskova, Valeria Khomyakova, Lydia Litvyak, Ekaterina Budanova, and Valentina Grizodubova. These were the same aviators Shevchenko had referenced in comments made approximately six weeks earlier. The post serves as Shevchenko's tribute to the contributions of these World War II pilots. Her acknowledgment connects her earlier statements about these historical figures with the Victory Day commemoration. The gesture highlights Shevchenko's respect for the legacy of these military aviators.
