Nataliia was seven months pregnant when the full-scale russian invasion began. On March 3, 2022, a russian airstrike hit the multi-storey building in Chernihiv where she lived with her family. The pregnant woman miraculously survived. After the explosion, Nataliia and her family had to get out from under the rubble. At least 47 people were killed in the bombing of Chernihiv that day.
