Overcame about 10 kilometers under shelling: a 98-year-old woman left the occupied Donetsk region on her own

Lidiia Stepanivna, a 98-year-old resident of Ocheretyne in the occupied Donetsk region, walked the entire front under shelling, covering about 10 kilometers to reach the territory controlled by Ukraine.

This was reported to the National Police.

The house that a resident of Ocheretyne built with her own hands was destroyed by the Russians, and her relatives were injured. Escaping from the occupiers, the woman left the occupation at the age of 98.

«Lidiia Stepanivna walked all day, without food and water, fell several times without strength and, as she says, «fell asleep.» Kept on two sticks and «on character». In the midst of the fighting, the pensioner miraculously remained alive and unharmed,» the message reads.

In the evening, the tired pedestrian was seen by the military on the road and handed over to the White Angel police group. The police took the resident to a shelter for evacuees, where she is being cared for. Currently, law enforcement officers are looking for the woman's relatives.

Lidiia Stepanivna is feeling well after the «march throw».

«I survived that war and I am going through this war. She was left with nothing. But I left my Ukraine on my feet,» says the woman.

We will remind you that a 17-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy from the Kherson region were returned to the territory controlled by the government of Ukraine. These children are deprived of parental care.
