A 98-year-old woman in Ukraine recently made headlines for her remarkable escape from Russian-occupied territory. Lidia Stepanivna Lomikovska, along with her family, decided to flee the frontline town of Ocheretyne in the eastern Donetsk region as Russian troops entered the area and fighting escalated.
During the chaotic departure, Lidia became separated from her son and two daughters-in-law, who took back routes while she chose to stay on the main road. With only a pair of slippers, a cane, and a piece of wood for support, Lidia embarked on a grueling journey, walking almost 10 kilometers alone without food and water to reach Ukrainian lines.
