From: Meanwhile in Ukraine 🇺🇦 98-year-old Lidiia walks 10 km through the war zone to escape Russian-occupied Ocheretyne
“I survived that war and I am surviving this war. I am left with nothing. But I came out on my own feet, with my Ukraine,” the woman says.
The house that the resident of Ocheretyne built with her own hands was destroyed by the Russians, and her relatives were wounded. Saving herself from the occupiers, the woman at the age of 98 did the impossible.
Lidiia walked all day, without food or water, fell exhausted several times and, as she says, “fell asleep.” She held on to two sticks and “on her character.” In the midst of the fighting, the pensioner miraculously remained alive and unharmed.
In the evening, the tired pedestrian was seen on the road by the military and handed over to the “White Angel” police group. The police officers took the resident to a shelter for the evacuated, where they take care of her.
