One of Filkina's daughters, 26-year-old Olga Shchyruk, said she begged her mother not to ride her black bike home that day. Filkina replied, according to Shchyruk, a child psychologist who was in Poland at the time helping other Ukrainian refugees. "All her life, she gave herself for others -- (she) gave her life to the ambitions of other people," Shchyruk said. It was after that trip to Egypt that her mother decided she "wanted to follow her own passions," she added. The military said it would be impossible to retrieve her body, as a Russian tank was positioned nearby.
