"The house that resident of Ocheretyne built with her own hands was destroyed by the russians, and her relatives were injured. Escaping from the occupiers, the woman, at the age of 98, did the impossible. She walked all day, without food and water, fell several times from exhaustion and, as she says, 'dozed off'. She held onto two canes and 'strengtht of character'. The pensioner miraculously remained alive and unharmed. By evening, tired Mrs Lidiia was seen on the road by the military and handed over to the "White Angels" police group. The police took the resident to a shelter for evacuees, where they take care of her", - the police said.
