This year, Odesa celebrated its City Day with the birth of a baby girl.

Ksenia entered the world at 00:01 on September 2 at maternity hospital No. 5.

The newborn weighs 3.5 kilograms and measures 52 centimeters in height. Ksenia is the second child in her family. Both mother and daughter are doing well.

Odesa has a lovely tradition of bringing gifts to the maternity hospital where the first baby is born on City Day.

Odesa's mayor, Hennadiy Trukhanov, congratulated Ksenia and all the new parents on this special occasion.

“I congratulate all newborns and families who welcomed new life on our City Day. May your children grow healthy and happy in Ukraine,” said Mayor Hennadiy Trukhanov.
