Lived with husband and one-year-old son: what is known about the woman who spent 20 hours under ruble in Dnipro

On 14 January, the Russian occupiers struck a residential building in the city of Dnipro with a missile, and on 15 January, the emergency services rescued a woman who spent 20 hours under the rubble.

It turned out that the girl in the photo is 27-year-old Kateryna Zelenska, her sister Alina reported on Instagram.

She lived in Dnipro with her husband and son Nikita, who recently turned one year old.

"This is Katya, my sister! She was found only this morning and, thank God, she is alive. She lived with her family in that cursed house on Peremoha [Street – ed.]!

She could not call for help, because she has been deaf since childhood!", her sister wrote.

Due to her hearing impairment, Kateryna could not hear when the "minute of silence" was approaching and call for help at that very moment, wrote media journalist Larisa Yakubenko.

However, at night, at one of these moments, the rescuers heard the woman's voice and pulled her out in 10 hours.
