On the night of March 25, a son, Taras, was born to the leader of "Our Ukraine," Viktor Yushchenko, and his wife Kateryna. \n \nThis is reported by the press service of "Our Ukraine." \n \nThe delivery went well, the boy weighs 4.250 kg, and the mother and child feel fine. \n \nAs a correspondent of "Ukrainska Pravda" reports, after Viktor Yushchenko came to the parliamentary hall at around 11 o'clock on Thursday, people's deputies approached him and congratulated him on the birth of his son. Among them was also a member of the SDPU(O), Nestor Shufrych. \n \nThis is already Viktor Yushchenko's fifth child. He has a daughter, Lina (23 years old), a son, Andriy (18 years old), a five-year-old Sofiyka, and a three-year-old Khrystynka. \n \nKateryna Yushchenko-Chumachenko was registered and monitored by Ukrainian doctors during her pregnancy, but the actual delivery took place in Vienna. This decision was made taking into account the health condition and age of the mother — after 40, the risk for the woman and child increases. \n\nThe press secretary of Viktor Yushchenko, Iryna Herashchenko, stated that one of the reasons for choosing the location was also the issue of safety. The Yushchenko family has for many years been in an atmosphere of threats and information harassment, which negatively affect the emotional state of a pregnant woman. \n\nHerashchenko recalled that Kateryna gave birth to her previous child, her daughter Khrystyna, who is currently three years old, in Ukraine. And although the delivery went normally, a few days later the Yushchenko couple nearly lost the child due to an introduced infection. That incident, accidentally or not, coincided with the culmination of the war of oligarchic clans against Yushchenko's government. \n\nAt that time, the girl was saved by both Ukrainian medics and their colleagues from abroad. In the family, they still recall with horror those terrible weeks when there was a struggle for Khrystynka's life. \n
