A woman who was forced to drink "radiator water" and hid in a crowded basement in Ukraine is now planning to complete a Master's programme at Harvard.
Alina Beskrovna's family lost all their savings and property during the Ukraine conflict but now the 33-year-old is hoping to achieve her dream of going to the esteemed US university.
She spent nearly a month in a dark basement with her mum, three cats and 32 other strangers while their city of Mariupol, in eastern Ukraine was shelled by Russian forces.
