A pregnant woman and her unborn child were killed in Ukraine after being critically injured in a horrifying bomb explosion by Russian forces.
Putin’s army carried out strikes on a maternity hospital last Wednesday that left the mother in an awful state, with many referring to the incident as the most brutal act of the war.
Moreover, an image of her being rescued by paramedics from the site of the incident on a stretcher was deemed to be one of the invasion’s most heartbreaking and moving pictures so far.
Now, reports have confirmed how both the mother and her baby have been killed.
Devastating images of the unnamed mom-to-be showed her in a state of agony while she was being carried out for treatment. Worried about her baby, the mother kept on asking paramedics for updates.
But when she found out that there was no heartbeat and her child was no more, she just couldn’t take the pain.
“Kill me now, I no longer wish to live. My baby is gone”- the mother to be contained to cry.
The fact that she was killed in the very same place that she thought would be the safest and also the only place where she assumed she would be able to give birth to a new life was just a far fetched reality that turned into a nightmare, due to the Russian strikes on the maternity ward.
In viral videos and images released last week, the mother was seen rubbing her abdomen that was covered in blood while rescuers did everything they could to help retrieve her from the rubble of Mariupol that came under attack.
Many are now looking at the incident as an enormous war crime, one of the most brutal acts to be inflicted by Russia on Ukraine as the conflict enters its 19th day.
