A 98-year-old woman left the occupied part of Ocheretino on foot. Lidia Stepanivna walked the entire front under fire, covering more than 10 km. Without food and water, she held on to two sticks and fell several times without strength. All for the sake of reaching Ukraine-controlled territory

  1. **Continuation:** In the evening, the military saw her on the road and handed her over to the “White Angel” police group. The police took the woman to a shelter, where she is being cared for.

    “I survived that war and I am going through this war. She was left with nothing. But I left my Ukraine on my feet”, said Lidia Stepanivna.

    Can someone tell, whether she speaks Russian or Ukrainian? [Wikipedia says that 54% of the population of Ocheretino speak Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocheretyne)… There seems to be a good chance that she is one of the Russian speakers that Putin wants to “liberate”?

    I hate hate hate russians for what they are doing to our people. This poor woman had a home and her quiet, peaceful life and look what happened to her. But apparently russians cannot imagine their existence without having their flag over the ruins of her house.

  5. The boys are incredible to be able to joke on those circumstances.

    Soldier: “How old are you?”
    Babusya: “What do you think?”
    Soldier: Well, I don’t know, 18?”

    Bless them both.

    My baba was the matriarch of the family, everything we accomplished we could attribute to her being a fearless example of strength and will. I wish everyone had the opportunity to be raised around a woman like Ms. Lidia here so they could appreciate what is at risk of being lost to this war and understand why the Ukrainian people will relentlessly defend against the evil that threatens them. Now is not the time for complacency, as we wait for military aid to come through land/homes/lives are being lost. Donate now if you have the means!
