Part 5/9:
Amid these dire circumstances, stories of personal loss and survival unfold. Taisia, who recently gave birth to her daughter Azul, embodies the paradox of resilience and tragedy. Her calm moments in the maternity ward are tinged with the grief of a war that has engulfed her community. Her story intersects with others, such as Satislav and Natalia, who fled the town for safety in Kyiv but tragically lost their loved ones—family members killed during a Russian air strike. Their daughter Sophia was pregnant at the time, and her tragic death, along with her husband Makita and grandson Lev, underscores the brutal human cost of the conflict.
