Daryna Vertetska was sitting with her 8-year-old daughter in Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital on Monday morning when Russian missiles began to ring out in the sky.
Her daughter, Kira, was receiving treatment for her cancer as the explosions boomed across the capital, Kyiv.
“We decided not to interrupt it,” Ms. Vertetska said of the treatment.
As Kira continued her treatment, a missile slammed directly into the Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, triggering an explosion so loud it defied description, she said.
“She was very frightened,” said Ms. Vertetska, 33.
