Military medic Mariana Mamonova was serving in one of the Marine Corps battalions of the Ukrainian Navy in Berdiansk. At the start of the full-scale invasion, she was in Mariupol. In mid-March, while at a factory, she discovered she was pregnant. But Mariana decided not to tell anyone so she could continue working at full capacity and saving the wounded. In April, while evacuating the wounded alongside other medics and military personnel, Mariana was taken prisoner.
In a cramped detention cell without a bed, proper food, or drinking water, and subjected to constant interrogations, Mariana endured six months of captivity
On September 21, 2022, she was released along with 215 other Ukrainian defenders. Just four days later, Mariana became the mother of a baby girl named Anna-Maria.
