Words by Andriy Avramenko : Yuliya, 38, came to Lviv from Kyiv two weeks after the hostilities started. At first, she and her husband moved to their seasonal house (dacha) near Kyiv. But staying there was dangerous, particularly if she went into labor or if there was another emergency during curfew hours when all the people outside could be considered saboteurs.
So the couple came to Lviv, where Yuliya gave birth on April 7 at Lviv Regional Clinic Hospital.
