Wartime birth amid the air raid sirens in Ukraine hospital

Natalya Suhotsha, 24, looks at her 2-day-old new twin girls, Zlata and Sophia, at the Lviv state regional perinatal center, western Ukraine, Friday, April 1, 2022. She had fled Irpin, on the outskirts of Kyiv, in the earliest days of the war when the Russians began to bombard a nearby airport. Her husband gave her five minutes to gather things and go. At the hospital she has met other displaced new mothers. "We just talk about pretty babies," Suhotsha said. "We don't talk about the war. Every time you talk about the war, you stress."
