The woman who was pregnant and became a symbol of Russia's brutal attack in the Mariupol maternity hospital gave birth to a healthy baby girl

She is one of the most talked about faces of the last 48 hours on the battlefield.

Marianna from Ukraine is, for her compatriots, the starkest proof of the brutality displayed by Russian troops during their invasion of Ukrainian territory. The photograph of her emerging bloodied from a maternity hospital in Mariupol, which has just been bombed, shocked international public opinion, strongly highlighting a cruel and inhuman aspect of the humanitarian tragedy experienced by Ukrainians.


On the other hand,the post of the Russian embassy in Great Britain that disputed that civilians have been injured by the bombing of the maternity hospital in Mariupol. They went so far as to claim that one of the women depicted as having been hit is wearing make-up, so in their judgment, Marianna is... an actress.


Fortunately for Marianna and for every Marianna who falls victim to Russian propaganda, there are the documents that refute the claims of the invaders.

Through the Instagram profile of the young Ukrainian woman who gave birth a few hours ago to a healthy baby girl, there are recently posted photos of her proving that she was indeed pregnant when the Russian missile hit the maternity ward, injuring a total of 17 adults, including doctors, nurses and women like Marianna in late pregnancy.




A quick browse through her page reveals that before the war, Marianna worked as a beautician. She advertised the products she sold through social media and the Telegram communication network.

In her last posted photo she poses showing off her bulging belly, proof that the time was approaching to give life to the little creature inside her. In another photo she poses with her partner, days before the Russian nightmare invaded their lives.

Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk wrote on Twitter that she was informed by a relative of Marianna who told her that she managed to contact her and that last night at 10 o'clock, the young beautician gave birth to her baby girl. "It's very cold and the bombings don't stop" were Marianna's last words in the brief communication she had with her relative, Olga Tokariuk wrote.
