As a result of the attack, three people were injured, including children, according to the head of the Kirovohrad Regional Military Administration, Andriy Raykovych. As the head of the regional military administration clarified, it was a woman with two children. "They were immediately provided with medical assistance. The older girl did not require hospitalization," the official said, adding that residents from the building, including all 38 apartments, were evacuated. The administration stated that all relevant services are currently working at the site. The regional military administration also released footage showing the aftermath of the drone strike on the high-rise building, with visible fire in the images.

Note: The city of Dolynska is located in the Kropyvnytskyi district of the Kirovohrad region. The area of the settlement is just over 12 square kilometers. According to data from 2025, the population of the city is 19,472 people. Near Dolynska is the well-known long-term construction of the Kryvyi Rih Mining and Processing Plant of Oxidized Ores (KGZKOR). The settlement is considered an important railway hub. Earlier, it was reported that on the evening prior, air raid alerts were declared in many regions of Ukraine due to the threat of enemy drone attacks. The alarm signal due to the danger of Shahed drones was also heard in the capital, and later it became known that air defense systems were active in Kyiv, particularly in the northern part of the city. Later, the city authorities reported that debris from an enemy drone was found in the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv. Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko informed that there was a fire on the territory of an industrial enterprise, and cars in the yard of a residential building nearby were also on fire. According to the Kyiv City Military Administration, there were no casualties in Kyiv. The debris from the enemy drone fell in a non-residential area, and a fire was recorded in a warehouse building.

newspaper that Russia was advancing in all directions and Ukraine had been pushed into a defensive stance since February 2024 amid a major Russian offensive that took back considerable territory Rudskoi said Russia now controlled 75 per cent of Ukraine's Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions and more than 99 per cent of the Luhansk region He said the four regions are now legally part of Russia and will never be returned to Ukraine "Last year was a turning point in achieving our goals The Kyiv regime will no longer be able to significantly change the situation on the battlefield," Rudskoi said "The enemy has largely lost the ability to produce the necessary weapons Rudskoi said the future of the conflict no longer depended on Ukraine but on whether or not the West would agree to craft a new European security architecture which took into account Russia's interests Russia launched a barrage of drones on Ukraine's southern city of Odesa, hitting energy infrastructure and leaving at least 160,000 people without heating in sub-zero temperatures, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday interrupting heating supplies to about 500 apartment buildings The temperature in the Black Sea port is currently about -6C "Rescue operations are underway in Odesa after another Russian attack on the energy infrastructure," Zelensky said "It is civilian energy facilities against which the Russian army has not spared neither missiles nor attack drones for almost three years." The Ukrainian military said that Russia launched 167 drones during overnight attacks on the southern Odesa region and other regions across the country Air defence units and mobile drone hunting groups shot down 106 of them Russian forces took control of the settlement of Yampolivka in eastern Ukraine the RIA state news agency reported on Tuesday Large Russian drone attack injures civilians in central Ukraine A Russian overnight drone attack on the city of Dolynska in central Ukraine injured a mother and her two children and forced the evacuation of people from 38 flats after their apartment building was damaged “A difficult night for the Kirovohrad region,” Andriy Raikovych, governor of the Kirovohrad region said in a post on the Telegram messaging app “An enemy drone hit a high-rise building in Dolynska.” The mother and one of the children were hospitalised He posted photos of flames bursting out of windows of a high-storey apartment building Both Moscow and Kyiv deny targeting civilians in their attacks in the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion on Ukraine nearly three years ago But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict The attack took place as top Russian and U.S. officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia for talks - without the participation of Kyiv or its European allies - on how to end the war in Ukraine.

(2) political instability (external and internal political situations); (3) increasing fear and uncertainty about the future of the country; and (4) economic instability (increased prices for basic utilities and household necessities) leading to a higher cost of living All these factors make parenting more complicated because they constantly worry about providing safety for their children and meeting their needs Ensuring a decent future for the child is also becoming more difficult the lack of social support stemming from war-related relocations or even emigration is also a significant stress factor for parents In addition to the above-mentioned factors that are more specific to the Ukrainian context Ukrainian parents share with other parents in the world many micro-level risk factors such as parenting perfectionism low self-esteem and feeling of incompetence in parenting new stress factors further increased parenting stress including the lockdown of parents with their children new conditions for the family’s functioning fear that a child or partner will get sick The last tremendous stressor for Ukrainian parents appeared on the 24th of February with the full-scale Russian invasion which brought a completely new level of stress and uncertainty to the life of Ukrainian society existing stressors intensified and new ones appeared such as separation from a spouse or part of the family leading to changes in family responsibilities and taking on new roles a constant feeling of threat accompanied by anxiety; uncertainty and insecurity about the future; inability to plan and general lack of stability; and concerns about the child’s psychological and general well-being in the future War is a crisis on a social and intrafamily level that takes a huge portion of the parents’ energy bringing additional risk factors to the development of children Protecting one’s children and deciding on the best options to keep them safe and striving to ensure their future became a challenge for many parents these efforts have not yet been applied in Ukraine Relying on the strong psychometric characteristics of the PBA demonstrated in the above research this instrument is a good candidate for assessing PB in Ukraine It is expected that the reliabilities of the global score of the PBA-UA and its four subscales will all be satisfactory The concurrent validity will be tested by examining the association of PB with five external variables: perfectionism perfectionism and resilience were chosen to represent theoretical antecedents of PB Neglect and violence were chosen to represent consequences of PB Perceived stress is used both as a correlate and to examine the incremental validity of PB over general stress a moderate positive correlation between PB and perfectionism was expected in the current study a moderate to large negative relationship between PB and resilience was expected in the present study we also expect large positive correlations between PBA-UA and these two variables General perceived stress, the degree to which one’s life is appraised as stressful (Cohen et al., 1983), was measured here both as a correlate of PB but also, and more particularly, to test the incremental validity of PB to predict violence and neglect. In line with previous studies showing that PB predicts neglect and violence more than job burnout and depressive symptoms (Mikolajczak et al., 2020; Szczygieł et al., 2020) we hypothesize that PB will predict neglect and violence over and above general perceived stress The participants were 1896 parents including 1735 (91.5%) mothers and 161 (8.5%) fathers Among the participants 99,84% had at least one child living with them permanently in the same household; three fathers (0.16%) have their children part-time at home The survey was conducted in Ukrainian language Most of the participants (99%) lived in Ukraine 19 people (1.00%) currently lived abroad but identified as Ukrainian three people (0.16%) did not answer the question about age 85.57% of parents lived with their partner and seven respondents (0.37%) did not answer the question The majority of parents had one (42.86%) or two (40.84%) children Regarding the number of children actually living in the home the number of families with one child was 47.50% Participants provided the age of their youngest child: 7.8% had a youngest child under one year old and 1.5% had a youngest child older than 18 years old 65.07% of the parents had at least a part-time job The majority of participants (57.7%) were living in cities The data were collected from the beginning of November 2021 to the end of January 2022 just before Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine Participants were recruited via social networks like Facebook or Instagram (where the study was advertised in groups for parents or on influencers’ pages) and participants of previous pilot studies on parental stress and exhaustion It was also displayed on the Telegram channel “Psychological support” The survey was presented online and information about the study was provided at the beginning of the survey Parents were eligible to participate in the study only if they had at least one child still living at home The responders participated voluntarily; no remuneration was offered the participants were assured that the data would remain anonymous and would be used for research purposes only The respondents could answer the survey at a convenient time for them by filling in the online form Parental burnout was measured using the Ukrainian translation of the Parental Burnout Assessment described above The original PBA questionnaire consists of 23 items forming four subscales: Emotional Exhaustion (nine items; e.g. “I feel completely run down by my role as a parent”) “I do what I’m supposed to do for my child(ren) Saturation or Feelings of Being Fed Up with parenting (five items; e.g. “I feel like I can’t take any more as a parent”) and Contrast with Previous Parental Self (six items; e.g. “I tell myself that I’m no longer the parent I used to be”) Items are rated on a seven-point Likert scale from 0 (never) Perfectionism was measured via the Short Almost Perfect Scale (SAPS, Rice et al., 2014) The scale consists of eight items equally divided into two subscales: standards or high performance expectations (e.g. “I set very high standards for myself”) and discrepancy or self-critical performance evaluation (e.g. “Doing my best never seems to be enough”) Items are rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) 2 (disagree) 3 (slightly disagree) Subscale scores are calculated by averaging the responses to the items associated with each dimension Higher scores reflect higher perfectionism Cronbach’s alpha was 0.85 for standards 0.83 for discrepancy and 0.88 for the whole scale Parental neglect was assessed using the short form of the Parental Neglect Scale (Mikolajczak et al., 2019) a 3-item questionnaire measuring emotional I don’t care about my children when I know I should (meals The questionnaire was translated into Ukrainian with the help of a professional translator back translation and semantic analysis were accomplished Items were rated on an 8-point scale from 1 (never) A global score was obtained by averaging the item scores Parental violence was assessed with the short form of Parental Violence Scale (Mikolajczak et al., 2019) a 3-item questionnaire measuring psychological physical and verbal violence toward a child [e.g. I say things to my children that I then regret (threats Items were rated on the same 8-point scale as for the Parental Neglect Scale General stress was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen et al., 1983) which is a widely used stress assessment instrument The tool also went through the translation/adaptation/back translation procedure The PSS is 10-item questionnaire measuring the degree to which different situations are subjectively appraised as stressful by the individual The questions ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month (e.g. how often have you felt nervous and stressed?”) The items were rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale: 0 (never) with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress We used Jamovi (Version 2.0.0.0) (for preliminary and descriptive and hierarchical linear regression analyses) and JASP (Version 0.14.1 for factor analyses) software to analyze the data The first step was to exclude the data that did not fit the criteria of the research Since the present study explores PB among Ukrainian parents who live in Ukraine and since living in another country a parent could be exposed to stress factors different from those that are prevalent in Ukraine which can affect the level of PB differently 20 records were excluded: 19 of the respondents do not live in Ukraine and there was one duplicate record As responders participated in the study on a volunteer basis in preparing the study we tried to make it as easy as possible for them to fill out the questionnaire participants’ ages were split into the age ranges as presented in the article we see that this was not the best decision The reliability of the questionnaires was examined using Cronbach’s Alphas Pearson’s r correlation analyses were conducted to test concurrent validity and the relationship between PBA (and its four dimensions) and perfectionism Regression analysis was conducted to determine the relative weight of the four dimensions of the PBA hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis that PB has incremental validity over general perceived stress to predict neglect and violence The chi-square difference test [χ2diff (2) = 19.177 p < 0.001] showed that there is some discrepancy between the first-order factor model and the second-order factor model SRMR) the both models could be considered to fit the data equally well and supported the construct validity of the models Results of the confirmatory factor analysis for the first-order factor model of the PBA-UA (N = 1878) Emotional Exhausting – emotional exhausting from parental role; Emotional Distancing – emotional distancing from one’s child; Feeling of Being Fed Up – feeling of being fed up with parenting; Contrast – contrast with previous parental self; It – item number in the order in which it is presented in the assessment Results of the confirmatory factor analysis for the second-order factor model of the PBA-UA (N = 1878) the results demonstrate high levels of internal consistency: Cronbach’s alpha for the global score of the PBA-UA was α = 0.97 (0.97 for mothers and 0.94 for fathers) for Exhaustion from parental role it was α = 0.94 (0.94 for mothers and 0.91 for fathers) for Emotional distancing from the one’s child it was α = 0.78 (0.79 for mothers and 0.70 for fathers) for Feeling of being fed up in the parenting role it was α = 0.91 (0.91 for mothers and 0.89 for fathers) and for Contrast with previous parental self it was α = 0.92 (0.92 for mothers and 0.91 for fathers) The concurrent validity was tested by examining the association of PBA-UA with the following external variables: perfectionism, resilience, parental neglect, parental violence, and perceived stress. The correlation between PBA-UA (both global score and subscale scores) and all the variables under study are displayed in Table 1 the correlation between PBA-UA global score and perfectionism was 0.28 (0.05 for standards subscale The association between PB and socio-demographic variables (i.e., parent’s gender, marital status, number of children, number of children living in household and working status) is shown in Table 2 gender-related differences were found: Mothers had significantly higher PBA-UA scores than fathers as well as for the four dimensions of the PBA-UA with p < 0.001 for exhaustion from parental role p < 0.001 for emotional distancing from one’s child p < 0.001 for feelings of being fed up with parenting p < 0.001 for contrast with previous parental self there was no significant difference in PB levels between parents who live with or without a partner There were also no significant differences in PB levels between parents with different numbers of children F (2 but there was a difference in PB levels between parents with different numbers of children living in the household Bonferroni’s post hoc test showed that parents with one child had lower levels of PB than parents with two (ΔM =−4.37 p = 0.021) and three children (ΔM =−7.76 No differences were found between parents who had two and three children in the household (ΔM =−3.38 non-working parents reported higher burnout levels than working parents Descriptive statistics of the PBA-UA subscales and global score according to gender number of children living in household and working status A study of the relationship between parental neglect and parental violence, and the two predictors of PB and general stress, fully confirmed our hypothesis that PB is a stronger predictor of parental neglect and violence than general stress. As shown in Tables 3, 4 general stress no more predicts neglect and violence in the presence of PB Regression model predicting parental neglect Regression model predicting parental violence Regarding the prevalence of PB, respondents were considered to experience PB if they scored 92 or higher on the PBA, which is the mean score of a parent who experiences every symptom at least once a week (Szczygieł et al., 2020; Sarrionandia and Aliri, 2021; Hamvai et al., 2022) the prevalence rate of burnout stood at 10.17% in the total sample; 10.83% for mothers and 3.13% for fathers Regarding the prevalence of general perceived stress, respondents were considered to have high perceived stress if the total score ranged from 27 to 40 (Cohen et al., 1983) the prevalence rate of perceived stress stood at 20.02% in the total sample The mean score of the scare was 28.49 (SD 1.85) Regarding gender difference the prevalence rate of perceived stress for mothers was 20.61% with a mean of 28.53 (SD 1.87) and for fathers it was 13.75% with a mean of 28.00 (SD 1.57) appears to be an urgent problem in Ukraine Even before the full-scale invasion of Russia parents in Ukraine had the highest levels of PB among other European countries This is a serious challenge for researchers and clinicians in Ukraine especially in the context of long-term stress related to military actions and trauma Possibly having a job gives parents a feeling of stability this study both expands the growing evidence on PB and provides empirical support for the validity of the PBA-UA which can now be used for assessing PB in Ukraine The availability of a validated tool will be most useful in the diagnosis and understanding of this phenomenon for specialists in the psychological and social fields who work with parents or families It can also be used to assess the effectiveness of programs to prevent or treat PB the fact that the PBA is available through open access is an asset the availability of the PBA-UA will allow Ukrainian researchers to participate actively in both national and cross-cultural research aimed at better understanding the causes and consequences of PB That is why it is also possible that parental burnout is seen as a more pressing issue for mothers which made them more readily interested in participating in the study caution should be exercised when extrapolating the present results for fathers to the entire male population of Ukraine due to the small male sample size in the present study the data collection was based solely on self-reports In addition to overcoming these shortcomings future research in the Ukrainian context will need to dig deeper into the specific antecedents of PB in Ukraine at the macro- the possible influence of war trauma on PB as well as for the specific consequences that PB may have in this country and context) The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors The research with human participants

Now he volunteers at City Hospital No "The sky was cloudless," says Vladyslav Kukhar Russia's attacks on Ukraine's health facilities are part of a tragic global trend in conflict zones scaring people from coming to a clinic if they need help Kukhar says that the Emergency Department of City Hospital No the shock wave shattered windows across all nine floors of the building "There was a white fog of cement and dust in the building Kukhar remembers a girl crying in the hallway as if it were a photograph seared into his memory Next he ran to what little remained of the Emergency Department "We were trying to find all the wounded to prioritize them," he says "to render them necessary aid" — including sedatives deputy director of the Chernihiv Health Department stepped into what had become City Hospital No very difficult emotional moment," she recalls It's become Lebedieva's job to document the drumbeat of assaults on the health facilities in her city "My job requires me to drive around the city and check every hospital," she says had employed over 300 physicians of more than 30 specialties including an especially strong cardiac surgery department The hospital had developed a strong COVID response unit Blood transfusions are one of the numerous medical services that have become interrupted by Russian attacks "The decision was taken very quickly," Lebedieva says "to move all the patients who were able to walk to move them to the underground floors," which had sustained less damage from the shelling Those who'd been recovering post-op were brought into the hallways since their rooms "Everyone was very scared," Lebedieva recounts "The patients — everything that has been done to help them to live their life longer is being destroyed in seconds or minutes It's such a pain in your heart and hopelessness in your soul." This is what Tetiana Lebedieva had come to document with her eyes and her phone — the latest in a string of attacks on health infrastructure "We need to have the evidence that this happened," she says "It is a breach of all military conventions." this was the sixth report of a hospital attack in Chernihiv alone all seven municipal hospitals are now damaged and only three remain partially open Every private clinic in Chernihiv has closed due to a combination of destruction and patients evacuating outside of the city Medical personnel across the city describe the difficulties they've witnessed Dennis Matsko headed up a multidrug resistant tuberculosis ward in Chernihiv He's now working out of the district hospital and says medical director of that same district hospital says that a nurse in a nearby village called her to say farewell "There's very heavy bombing tonight," the nurse said into the phone But Lohvinchuk reassured her that she would be okay the nurse survived the night and is continuing to care for patients While other health facilities in Ukraine have been spared Health infrastructure in the regions of Kyiv From the start of the war until the publication of this article on April 7 the World Health Organization has reported 103 assaults on Ukrainian health facilities a WHO spokesperson who was based in Ukraine until early April showing "there are no humanitarian boundaries to the conflict" and "really put the very existence of the health care into question." Pavlo Kovtonyuk is the former deputy minister of health in Ukraine and he's now working with the Ukrainian Healthcare Center to document attacks on health facilities as possible evidence of war crimes "We believe that Russia one day or the other will be taken responsible for what they did," he says adding that such an outcome is "not only about [a] military result but also about holding evil accountable after it all ends." the staff repaired the building the best they could It took four days to cover the blown-out windows with plywood and tarps The hospital moved all of its work to the ground floor transforming it into an emergency triage center "There was no alternative," says director Vladyslav Kukhar "We were there to help under any circumstances More than half of Chernihiv's population of not quite 300,000 people has fled but numerous medical personnel have stayed behind to help at City Hospital No 2 has routinely operated on patients who've needed shrapnel and bullets extracted from their bodies he was a pediatric surgeon elsewhere in Chernihiv Lebedieva observed that Ryzhenko has hands that are "capable of big miracles." But once the war broke out the pediatric surgeon became a full-time volunteer trauma surgeon He shows up to the hospital on his bike to tend the wounds of war he extracts shrapnel and bullets from the bodies of his patients People pass a crater in the city of Chernihiv shellings have ceased and Ukrainians have regained control of the city staff — holed up in the basement — streamed out of the hospital with gurneys and tourniquets ferrying new patients inside where the triage begins anew "You need to understand whom you should help first," Ryzhenko explains and whom there is no sense to help anymore Ryzhenko and the other surgeons have done the best they can running their operating equipment on generators a situation that grew increasingly dire as the Russian forces established a near chokehold on the city "So you could imagine what are the conditions in the hospital without windows." The staff has routinely huddled outside around makeshift stoves to cook food for their patients says he's filled with gratitude — for the people who helped repair his building the best they could and for his colleagues who've stayed to help others heal And it's the greatest honor in this situation."
