19 surrogate children are trapped in a basement in Kyiv amid bombing by Putin’s army. Although caretakers are taking care of them, but their lives are constantly in danger. Their biological parents are not even able to come to take care of them. They are afraid to come from the bombing of the Russian army. By the way, no one is able to muster the courage to go there in the kind of frightening situation that is seen in Ukraine.
The war between Russia and Ukraine continues for the 18th day. Neither of the two countries is ready to bow down, due to which the common people as well as the children have to bear the brunt of it. According to the report of the Indian Express, there has been devastation in the city of Kyiv due to continuous bombing. Many people are fleeing the country. Amidst all this, this poignant incident has come to the fore. According to the report, between the bomb blasts, Lyudmila Yashenko is busy handling the newborns. She is busy taking care of the children on one hand and on the other hand she is also taking the situation of war through TV.
There are 19 newborns in this basement of Kyiv. All have been given birth by surrogate mothers. In the midst of war, life has opened its eyes and new difficulties have also come along with it. People from other countries also used to come to Ukraine to have children through surrogacy but are unable to come now due to the war crisis. The future of these surrogate babies is uncertain, as due to the war, it is not certain whether the parents to whom they are heirs will ever come to pick them up.
Ukraine has the largest number of children born through surrogacy in the world. According to the law, the biological parents of the children are required to be present on the spot to exercise their rights. The nannies taking care of the children do not know when the biological parents of the children will come to meet their children. Yeshenko, who is taking care of the children, says – My husband is fighting on behalf of Ukraine. They want me to go away from here but I can’t. He tells them how to leave the work.
