Widowed While Pregnant: These Ukrainian Moms Lost Their Husbands In Combat

Kateryna Ukrayinets was four months pregnant when she found out that her husband had been killed while defending Ukraine against Russian forces. Speaking to RFE/RL, the 21-year-old widow said she had no idea how she would live without the father of her child. Russia's war on Ukraine has cost tens of thousands of lives and left many young women to care for their children alone.

@leoa1893 negotiate for what? When will russia condemn the soviet past? When will they finally acknowledge their soviet crimes just like Germans did after the period of nazis and stop calling former soviet countries liars? Finally, when will russians stop running away from their history? When all of this happens, then the free world will be up for negotiations with them.

[@user-vb1hy3li1h]

So heartbreaking. I hate Russia for doing this. You'd think Russians would care enough about their own husbands and sons to stop their own Government from sending them to kill other people's but they are horrible people themselves so don't. Their children will be blessings to them, a blessing their husbands left behind as a part of themselves to give them joy and comfort and support in their old age.

It is a shame the USA pushed them to their death, all for nothing we can all see, as every day brings us closer to the truth. Ukraine never had a snowball's chance.

[@1midnightfish]

Ukraine is winning the war that putin started because of his deranged plan to revive the russian empire. If Ukrainians had not stood up for themselves they already wouldn't exist any more as a nation. Stop trolling for genocidal dictators, there must be something else you can think of doing with yourself

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

@strategicintelligence...• I see you have still been taken in by Kremlin's propaganda. For those of us who look at the facts, we know Ukraine will prevail in driving the Russian invaders out. Ukraine repelled the attack of Russia's elite forces at Hostomel and didn't allow them to establish a foothold. Not only did Russia fail to capture Kyiv in 3 days, Ukraine succeeded in forcing a 40 kilometer long convoy of heavy Russian equipment to turn around. At the time, Ukraine was using all terrain vehicles and javelin missiles because it did not have any of the more advanced Western equipment to level the playing field with Russia. Ukraine has halted the progress of Russian troops for a year and has regained thousands of kilometers of previously occupied territories. Ukraine, without a navy, has succeeded in creating a shipping corridor that defies Russia's attempted blockade. Ukraine will prevail because its people are fighting for their existence. Russia is merely fighting for conquest and the troops will never benefit from the conquest.
