Ukrainian baby fights for life after Russian drone kills his mother
Share this @internewscast.com

WHEN rescue workers reached Tetyana Sakyian, the pregnant Ukrainian woman was so severely burned that medics had to induce her into a coma and deliver her baby prematurely.

She had been saved from the blazing debris by her husband Vadym Bohdan, who described the pain as ‘almost catatonic’ after a Shahed drone set their Kyiv apartment on fire.

The flames burned almost every part of her skin, threatened the unborn child’s life, and the intense pain was so overwhelming that it nearly incapacitated her brain.

Tetyana, 23, suffered burns over 90 percent of her body, but miraculously, surgeons managed to deliver the baby, Nazar, at 35 weeks within hours of the drone attack—though he is still in critical condition.

When Vadym awoke he was mummified in bandages as he had lost almost his entire skin barrier – but his first words were for his wife.

Told he was a father while she lay fighting for her life, he tried to drag himself to her bedside, blocking out his own unimaginable pain.

He was kept restrained for his safety, only to discover last Monday that Tetyana had succumbed to her injuries. She became the sixth casualty of Russia’s largest drone assault on Ukraine on September 7.

‘When he found out that Tetyana had given birth to their son and about her condition, he initially pleaded to be taken to her,’ Vadym’s sister Oksana Bohdan, 26, shared with the Daily Mail.

‘Then he tried to reach her by force. Doctors had to restrain him, tying him to his bed, so that he would not accidentally harm himself given the severity of his burns.’

Oksana was driving to Kyiv City Hospital No 2 to ‘hold my little nephew’ for the first time when they called to let her know Tetyana had slipped away.

‘After the long road, I can hardly find the words,’ Oksym told us through tears after getting the news.

‘My brother Vadym already knows that the woman he loved has died. I cannot describe his grief — my own tears choke me.

‘Now I am gathering the last of my strength to go to the clinic and see my nephew, little Nazar, whose life the doctors are still fighting to save.

‘This is what Russians brought to my country and my family, curse them.’

Vadym and Tetyana’s tragic story is just a small glimpse of the terror Volodymyr Zelensky warned the UN last week that Vladimir Putin’s drones are inflicting.

While the dictator has increasingly used them to probe NATO allies in recent weeks, each night they torment millions of Ukrainians as they sleep with nearly 600 swarming the country on Saturday.

Vadym and Tetyana moved from Tyshkivka, a village in the central Kirovohrad region, to the capital to build a family together six months ago.

But they were woken by the tell-tale buzz of the Shahed on September 7.

‘They first heard the drone fly past, so they went back to bed — and then it came back,’ said Oksana.

‘It was a targeted strike on a civilian building. They were in bed when the drone hit their apartment and the fire broke out.

‘Vadym told me he pulled Tetyana out from under the rubble with his own hands. The two of them, almost catatonic with pain, somehow managed to call for help and alert the rescuers.

‘Not long after, Tetyana started losing consciousness, and the doctors had no choice but to deliver her baby prematurely.’

Tatyana Bondarenko, Deputy Director for Medical Affairs of Kyiv City Medical Centre, said it was ‘an extremely complex undertaking’ to deliver Nazar who, like his father, remains in a critical condition. If he pulls through, Vadym will forever bear the scars from September 7.

‘I will most likely be a temporary or permanent guardian for the child. I will do everything for them,’ Oksana said.

‘We thank the gods that the boy has made it through this horror so far — he is the one ray of hope we have in this horrendous situation. Our doctors truly performed a miracle.’

Of the invaders, she said: ‘No matter how many years pass, we will never be able to forgive the Russians for all the Ukrainian children who were killed.’
