Ukrainian soldier Vitalii Khroniuk hugs his partner Anna Sokurenko during their visit to IVMED's fertility clinic in Kyiv, Ukraine, Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023. As Khroniuk lay facedown on the ground taking cover from Russian artillery fire, the Ukrainian solider had just one regret: He had never had a child. Aware that he could die at any moment, the 29-year-old decided to try cryopreservation — the process of freezing sperm or eggs that some Ukrainian soldiers are turning to as they face the possibility that they might never go home.

Selama liburan di rumah pada bulan Januari, Khroniuk dan Anna Sokurenko pergi ke klinik swasta di Kyiv, IVMED, yang membebaskan biaya kriopreservasi sebesar $55 untuk tentara. Klinik tersebut memiliki sekitar 100 tentara yang membekukan sperma sejak invasi, kata kepala dokternya, Halyna Strelko. Layanan pembuahan berbantuan untuk hamil saat ini menelan biaya $800 hingga $3.500. AP/Roman Hrytsyna

Sokurenko dan Khroniuk menikah beberapa hari setelah kunjungan klinik mereka, dan dia sekarang bertempur di wilayah Chernihiv dekat perbatasan. Dia percaya bahwa kesempatan untuk memiliki anak, bahkan setelah pasangannya terbunuh dalam perang, dapat meredakan rasa sakit yang mendalam karena kehilangan. AP/Evgeniy Maloletka
