Despite his death, Kyrkach-Antonenko found some new meaning, hope and purpose with the birth of their child. The Ukrainian parliament passed legislation in February to allow and fund the use of soldiers’ frozen sperm in case of their death. Once President Volodymyr Zelensky signs the bill into law, it will for the first time allow the widows of Ukrainian soldiers to use their dead partners’ reproductive cells – both sperm and eggs - to have children. It will also enable wounded soldiers to use their preserved reproductive cells to have children where their injuries would normally make that impossible. The possible injury to soldiers’ reproductive organs and trauma affecting the quality of sperm make cryopreservation of reproductive cells worthwhile, she told CNN, mentioning allegations of castration.

For many Ukrainians, the idea of saving soldiers’ sperm is at once personal and patriotic. It helps men who want to ensure something of themselves remains if they die, and it brings comfort to their partners. In a country now famous for its spirit of resistance, it is also one more way of fighting back. The concept of denying that type of erasure has caught on enough that the Parliament is debating a bill that would allow soldiers to freeze their sperm at the state’s expense. “The modern world allows us to give birth and raise the children of our fallen loved ones — the bravest and most courageous humans in this world,” she wrote.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy sings the national anthem during his visit in Kherson, Ukraine November 14, 2022. "Once they wanted to destroy us with hunger, now – with darkness and cold," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram. Russia has targeted critical infrastructure across Ukraine in recent weeks through waves of air strikes that have sparked widespread power outages and killed civilians. "On the 90th anniversary of the 1932-1933 Holodomor in Ukraine, Russia's genocidal war of aggression pursues the same goal as during the 1932-1933 genocide: the elimination of the Ukrainian nation and its statehood," it said. Pope Francis this week compared Russia's war in Ukraine to what he called the "terrible genocide" of the Stalin-era and said Ukrainians were now suffering from the "martyrdom of aggression."

Clădirea Președinției ucrainene arată devastator, după ce sâmbătă seara a fost ținta vandalilor. Protestatarii au cerut demisia ministrului de Interne Arsen Avakov, procurorului general Irina Venediktova și eliberarea lui Serghei Sternenko și Andrei Antonenko. Zeci de oameni au aruncat cu vopsea și fumigene în clădire, iar geamurile ușilor de la intrare au fost sparte. Duminică, ușile au fost scoase de muncitori, iar pereții din granit urmează a fi curățați de urgență de vopsea. Președinția a difuzat imagini de la fața locului, care denotă o priveliște dezolantă.
