Member of the People's Deputies from "Voice", member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Energy and Housing and Communal Services Inna Sovsun, who 12 October became a mother for the second time, 18 October shared in Instagram Stories the first photo of her newborn daughter Justine.
The photo was likely taken in the maternity hospital during discharge. Along with Sovsun and her newborn daughter, the photo also shows the People's Deputy from "Voice" Kira Rudyk. She posted this photo, and Sovsun reshared it on her page.
"Despite everything that is happening around us, new life brings new hope. Welcome to the world, Justine Sovsun," wrote Rudyk.
Thus, it became known that the newborn daughter of the deputy will bear the mother's surname, not her father's—the surgeon, former deputy health minister of Ukraine Oleksandr Linchevskyi, who is currently defending Ukraine at the front.
What is known about Sovsun's husband
"Sasha and I are not officially married, but we have long been together. He mobilized on the first day of the full-scale invasion. I understood that he would go to serve, because he had served before—in the 2014-military, 2015-military, 2016-military. We didn't even discuss it— for him it was a return to service," she told hromadske in June 2024 year.
In an interview with Diviche Media in September 2026 year Sovsun said that pregnancy became a relief for her during the full-scale war.
"Pregnancy is the anticipation of something good, of some happiness. Of course, it has been difficult. Maybe I was at such a low point that when this happened, for me it became a ray of hope," she confessed.
