A nurse checks the wounds of Natalia Ponomareva, 51, only three days after her family's home was shelled by Russian forces in their frontline village of Vysokopilla in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine on May 05, 2022 in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine. She said the family escaped, while still under fire, to a Ukrainian army checkpoint and was then transported to a regional trauma hospital. Her daughter, 5, was seriously injured and just released from the intensive care unit of another hospital. The central Ukrainian city and district of Kryvyi Rih, known as an industrial center and the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelensky, lies less than 70km north of Russian-occupied areas in nearby Kherson Oblast, where invading Russian forces have sought to create a land bridge between the Crimean peninsula and the eastern Donbas region.
