Heart-warming pictures of the woman giving birth to the baby have gone viral all over the internet. People are calling the baby "as a ray of hope" in such challenging times. The 23-year-old mom has named the girl "Mia". The pictures of the birth were shared by a Ukrainian politician - Hannah Hopko, with a heartfelt caption. Mykola Shlapak, a Ukrainian officer, informed the media that the woman was taking shelter at the metro station as the gunfire was raging outdoors, and soon after the police heard her voices, they rushed to her. An ambulance was called, and after the baby was brought to the world, both the mother and daughter were taken to the nearby hospital. Doctors have confirmed their well-being. People are calling the incident a "miracle". Hopko stated, "Mia was born this night in a stressful environment- the bombing of Kyiv. Her mom is happy after this challenging birth-giving and immediately departs to shelter.
