Margarita was born on January 30. This news was reported by the Volyn Regional Medical Association for Maternal and Child Protection.
The fourth child in the family
Margarita has become the fourth child in the family. The child's father, serviceman Ruslan Ryabiy, was killed in battle in the Pokrovsk direction in June 2024.
The wife of the fallen soldier, Nataliya, lives in the village of Peremyli in the Berestetska community. Previously, they raised two sons and a daughter together. In November last year, Nataliya announced that she was pregnant, and in January she gave birth to her daughter Margarita. However, Ruslan did not live to see the birth of their daughter, as he died a few months before.
Hero of Ukraine
Ruslan Ryabiy was killed in June 2024 while performing a combat task in Donetsk region, in the village of Krasnohorivka, Pokrovsk district. He served in the Separate Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky. After Ruslan's death, the brigade's command proposed to honor him with the Order 'For Courage' of the III degree (posthumously). A petition is currently underway to bestow upon him the title of 'Hero of Ukraine'. Soon, Ruslan's wife will receive a posthumous award - the 'Cross of the Hero'.
Brave and Patriotic
Nataliya shares that Ruslan was working in Germany when the Russian invasion began. He returned to Ukraine to defend his country and the future of his children. She shared that he was just, brave, and a patriot who loved his children very much. A week before his death, Ruslan learned that his wife was pregnant and he dreamed of the birth of a daughter.
It is noted that Margarytka was born on January 30, weighing 2900 g and measuring 52 cm. The delivery was urgent, but now both mother and little Margarita feel well and are in the ward together. The daughter is being breastfed.
The wife of the fallen soldier shared that Ruslan dreamed of taking their eldest daughter to school, but unfortunately, she started school without her father. Nataliya concluded her story by saying that he was a very loving father and a patriot.
In Ukraine, the birth of the first twins was also celebrated thanks to the state program of supportive reproductive technologies. The parents of these children, school teachers Igor and Irina from Lviv region, had long tried to become parents and were able to do so thanks to the state program.
