Yana Vinokurova is the president of "Mariupolchanka" football team. Shortly before the war, the team took fourth place in the Ukrainian Women's Premier League.

After the war broke out, many of "Mariupolchanka" players were hiding in the basement of Yana's house. When the shell hit the yard, they decided to leave quickly. 7 people, 5 cats and a dog fitted into a small car.

After the successful evacuation, Yana and the team's head coach returned to the city to bring humanitarian aid and evacuate several dozen more people.
