Timour Tchoumarine

Timour Tchoumarine is a Ukrainian obstetrician who worked in Mariupol during the intense Russian bombardment of the city in 2022. He and his wife, Tetyana, also a doctor, tirelessly treated victims of the attacks, including Iryna Kalinina, a pregnant woman whose image became a symbol of the war's brutality. Tchoumarine is newsworthy because recent articles revisit the events of the Mariupol hospital bombing and his experiences during that time. He is interviewed about the horrors he witnessed and the relentless work he and his colleagues undertook to save lives amidst the chaos and destruction. Now located in Kyiv, Tchoumarine reflects on the trauma and the lasting impact of the Russian attacks on Mariupol, highlighting the human cost of the war and the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
