Elderly woman with Victory Banner to be depicted on space rocket, Roscosmos says

The image will appear on the body of a carrier rocket for one of the nearest launches

MOSCOW, April 23. /TASS/. The image of an old woman who greeted Ukrainian servicemen with a Soviet Victory Banner will be depicted on a Roscosmos carrier rocket for one of the nearest launches, General Director of the Roscosmos space agency Dmitry Rogozin said.

"The image of a heroic old woman with a red banner in her hands will appear on the body of a Roscosmos carrier rocket for one of the nearest launches," he wrote on his Telegram channel, attaching one of the numerous depictions dedicated to this woman.

Earlier, on social networks, a video went viral where an old woman with a Victory Banner was greeting Ukrainian servicemen assuming they were Russian soldiers. A Ukrainian soldier handed her a bag with food but took away the flag and stomped on it. Then the old woman refused to take the food and demanded to return the flag that her parents had fought for.
