David Beckham handed over his Instagram account on Sunday to a Ukrainian doctor who works in Kharkiv, which revealed the state of the country amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star made a plea to his followers to donate to UNICEF to help Ukraine, after doctor Iryna showed a cramped basement where all pregnant women and new mothers were evacuated to during the first day of the Russian offensive.
“We are probably risking our lives, but we don’t think about it at all,” said doctor Iryna. “We love our work.
“Doctors and nurses here, we worry, we cry, but none of us will give up.
Unfortunately, we can’t take babies who are in intensive care to the basement because they rely on life-saving equipment. The first few days were the hardest. We had to learn to work with bombings and strikes.”
The heart-breaking footage will send further shockwaves to the world, as the war in Ukraine continues.
