  • Interview with "that girl from maternity ward" - Cassad, April 1, 2022 (+ video with English subtitles)
    She was pregnant, delivered by cesarean in the following days
    Prior to events, Ukrainian military men forced patients from better maternity ward, with solar panels (electricity, water was cut off), to a smaller one. Husbands run a generator, lived in basement, to help them out
    There were two explosions at night. No airplanes. She thinks explosions were artillery shells, and she is telling that others/men think the same.
    Evacuations started some 10 minutes or so after explosions (or after they were moved to the basement following explosions, which did not take long)
    Heavily pregnant, wounded woman was indeed wounded, and evacuated first. Both she and her child died. Photographs were taken during evacuation by AP, who must have been on the scene already.
    The girl interviewed now was evacuated last. She had some cuts from the glass, but nothing serious. She saw a man taking photos of her, and asked not to do it. She is telling that she saw that man, or men, couple of days later in her new ward, and that her husband, who had more interaction with photographers, was telling her that those photographers are from AP.
    She speaks very fast, kind of out of breath, or nervous. Apparently there are jump cuts in the recording, but it is consistent/continuous as a story.
