"You have no moral right to die."
This stark uttered by Olha Kurtmalaieva to herself as she lay in intensive care, as her lifeline her body was shutting down after emergency chemotherapy, her cancer having progressed to an incurable Stage 4. Doctors were unsure if she would survive the night, yet thought of her husband, a Ukrainian marine held captive by Russian forces, spurred her on. Alone in capital, Kyiv, Ms Kurtmalaieva faced death with a singular, powerful motivation: "If I die now, who will bring him back? He has no one else in Ukraine." Against all odds, she achieved remission in 2024, a testament to her fierce will to live. However, her personal victory was not the end of her ordeal. Despite multiple prisoner exchanges, including one she saw over 1,000 freed, her husband remains in captivity. Ms Kurtmalaieva’s fight continues, unwavering. She constant presence at nearly every exchange, one of hundreds of Ukrainian women desperately striving to bring their husbands, sons, & bro home. Her husband’s presence permeates her life, a constant reminder of her mission. "He’s everywhere in my life," she explains. "His (photo) is on my phone screen, in my wallet, on the kitchen wall, in every room." Day/night, her mind circles back to questions, driving her forward: "What can I do to speed up? What next?" Life b4 Russia’s full-scale invasion. Ms Kurtmalaieva was just 21 when she learned she had cancer. It was Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Stage 2. The tumors were growing but were still treatable. “At that age, you’re thinking: cancer? Why me? How? What did I do?” she recalled. Her husband, Ruslan Kurtmalaiev, promised to stay by her side through every round of chemotherapy.
When they met, in 2015, he was 21 and she was just 15. “It wasn’t love at first sight,” she said with a wide smile, eyes sparkling. Their attraction blossomed gradually that summer in Berdiansk, in what is now the Russian-occupied zone in the southern Zaporizhzhia region. Three years later, as soon as she turned 18, they wed. When they first met, it was not long after Russia illegally seized Crimea, Ruslan's homeland, in 2014, and also invaded eastern Ukraine. Ruslan, a professional soldier, had already served on the front line. From the beginning, Ms Kurtmalaieva understood that life as a military wife meant constant sacrifice — long separations, missed milestones, & uncertainty of war. But she never imagined that one day she would be waiting for her husband to return from captivity. When she describes Russian, tears well up in her eyes. “He’s kind, he has a heightened sense of justice,” she said. “For him, it was a matter of principle to return home & bring our Crimea home,” she said, a loss she fully comprehended only after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. “Only when I lost my home did I fully understand him." Olha Kurtmalaieva rolls a placard before heading to a prisoner exchange (AP) Facing cancer and hair loss. Ms Kurtmalaieva managed to complete only two sessions of chemo before the full-scale invasion. When her long hair began to fall out, she shaved her head. When she sent Ruslan a photo, he didn’t hesitate: “God, you’re so beautiful,” he told her. Later, he made confession.“He told me, ‘Yeah, I saw your hair falling out in mornings. I gathered it all from your pillow be4 U woke up, so U wouldn’t get upset.’” At the time, she believed losing her hair was the worst thing could happen to her. But soon after
In April 2024, Ms Kurtmalaieva was told she was in remission. Now she juggles civic activism with running an online cosmetics store. She co-founded the Marine Corps Strength Association, representing over 1,000 Ukrainian POWs still in captivity. In close contact with former prisoners, Ms Kurtmalaieva gathers fragments of information about Ruslan — she has had only one phone call with him in the past three years. She sent several letters but never received a reply. Like an investigator, she pieces together every detail. That’s how she discovered that her husband had broken ribs and a crushed arm during regular beatings, according to the testimony of one of the POWs. As part of the psychological torture, he is made to listen to the Russian national anthem repeatedly. A Crimean Tatar and a Muslim, he is given only Christian religious texts to read — not the worst form of pressure, Ms Kurtmalaieva acknowledges, but still a clear violation of his faith. One day, a Russian guard struck him eight times on the head with a hammer. “The other prisoners said they had never seen bruises like that in their lives,” she said. Ruslan spent months in solitary confinement. And yet, somehow, he remains emotionally strong. “He tells the others about me,” Ms Kurtmalaieva said, her voice softening. “One of the guys who came back said (Ruslan) told him: ‘She’s your age, but she’s got a business, she’s strong, she’s fighting for us. She’ll get us out.’ "That story stayed with her. “I can’t afford to be weak. How can a marine’s wife be weak?” Ms Kurtmalaieva said. “What matters is that he knows I’ll keep fighting for him — until the very end."

One recent study, conducted by researchers at the University of Southern California and Cleveland Clinic, found that a Covid-19 infection doubled the risk of a major cardiovascular event for up to three years afterward. What’s more, study found that infections severe enough to require hospitalization increased likelihood of cardiac events as much as — or more than — having previously had a heart attack did.
“A lot of people are at even greater risk of heart attack than they were before,” said Dr. David Goff, director for the cardiovascular sciences division at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which provided funding for the study. “And heart disease is already the leading cause of death on our planet before the pandemic. So this is really concerning.”
Given the volume of evidence now linking Covid-19 to heart inflammation, heart failure, arrhythmia & other cardiovascular issues. Experts said, doctors should be taking a closer look at patients’ Covid history.
