Katya is just days old, but her life has already inspired a newfound wave of hope in Mykolaiv, Ukraine. The newborn made her way into the world as her country came to the close of a full month of war.
Her mother, 37-year-old Tamara Kravchuk, has been terrified throughout as Russian President Vladimir Putin's deadly invasion continues. The scariest day, she said, was the first day, February 24, when "Russians began to shell Mykolaiv from all sides."
"Over time, every day, you get used to it more and more," the petrol station worker told Reuters. But then on Monday, a bomb hit a psychiatric hospital just about 500 meters away from the maternity hospital she is in. Nobody was injured, according to Reuters, as patients were evacuated just 20 minutes before the blast occurred.
