A woman who fled her war-torn country of Ukraine for Connecticut has given birth at Danbury Hospital. Olya Yurkiv fled a western city about three hours from the Poland border two months before she was due to give birth. As Russia attacked, her family hid in basements and bathtubs. In the dark of night, her husband carried their sleeping toddler to shelter. The 25-year old said it was impossible to leave home and her husband, but she and her 4-year-old daughter boarded a bus for Poland, saying it was more impossible to stay.
