Marianna Vyshemirsky, pregnant woman whose photo went viral following Mariupol hospital bombing, speaks out about attack's aftermath

One of the most poignant images from the war in Ukraine emerged in March, when Russian forces bombed a maternity hospital in Mariupol. As many fled the scene, the photo of one injured woman, wearing a polka-dotted sweatsuit, went viral, as she carried blankets and bags down debris-covered stairs with the walls falling apart around her.

That woman is 29-year-old Marianna Vyshemirsky. And the bombing of the hospital where she was awaiting the arrival of her daughter was only the beginning of a series of attacks she would face.

In the days following the attack at the hospital, the Russian Embassy in the U.K. claimed that Vyshemirsky portrayed multiple pregnant women in photos of the attack.
