Maia Mikhaluk's daughter Sasha was 38 weeks pregnant when Russia's invasion of Ukraine began. Then last week, just as Kyiv entered lockdown and battles raged in the city's suburbs, Sasha was rushed to the hospital with contractions. The baby, Briana, was born the next day without incident. The new grandmother said that the baby's arrival has brightened what have otherwise been grim days.
