Lyudmila discusses one of the most horrific moments of Volnovakha's defense: the shelling of the Central Regional Hospital. She talks about the intensive care unit, which transformed into a morgue. She describes ribs, collarbones, and fingers shattered by the blast wave, as well as the cramped conditions in the hospital's basement, where people sat so tightly that there was no room to even lower your arm. She talks about women giving birth in the basement and patients dying due to the lack of water.
