It is shrouded in mystery as even her name “Irina Starikova” is disputed other reports claim that her name was previously “Daniela Lazovic.” Radio Liberty Ukraine reported in 2018 that she was a former handball player who later got addicted to illegal drugs. Despite her motherly background, the Ukrainians have blamed her for war crimes as she allegedly shot prisoners of war in 2014. They have reportedly been together since 2015.
