Yumiko Shaku



"Recently, Yumiko Shaku has been hired as the Eastern European Military Governorate's governor under the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Lieutenant General Ruslan Khomchak. Seems to be that she would try to take care of these Russians that would try to annex Crimea and the eastern parts of Ukraine. It won't be another Holodomor in here."
