OLENA BARSUKOVA — TUESDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 2022
19,669 couples have got married in Kyiv during the 250 days of the full-scale war.
What’s more, since 24 February, 11,304 babies have been born in Ukraine’s capital: 5,903 boys and 5,401 girls.
Among the newborns are 207 sets of twins and two sets of triplets.
Mykola Povoroznyk, the Deputy Chairman of the Kyiv City State Administration, reported these figures on 1 November.
"For the fourth Monday in a row, Russia has been terrorising Ukrainians by attacking them with missiles and sending drones that bring death. But they will not understand that they will not frighten us with this and they will not break us, because the truth is on our side…
The Ukrainians are a people who, after the liberation of their villages and towns, rebuild houses, sow fields, create new families and give birth to new Ukrainians," Povoroznyk added.
Previously on Defenders Day, more than 1,300 couples got married.
And a defender of the Azovstal steelworks gave birth to a baby girl in Ukraine after she was released from Russian captivity.
