>A missile killed Diana Koshyk and her unborn son in the hospital where she was being treated, near a building Ukrainian soldiers used as a warehouse.
>Locals said the strikes were probably targeting the first building that was hit, a former medical dispensary that they said was well-known as a makeshift military base. Soldiers used it, they said, despite the maternity hospital working next door. The presence of the hospital also did not stop Russia from firing missiles indiscriminately into the center of the city.
>“I wouldn’t dare bring her to the maternity ward if I knew there were soldiers near there,” Diana’s mother, Lina Dranko, said after her funeral. “I would have brought doctors to our home.”
>“Now I can wait for a son from you, my sister,” he said through tears, hugging her back. “If you have a son, please name him Damir.”
