A 98-year-old Ukrainian woman has said she walked six miles (10km) under shelling, supporting herself with sticks and sleeping on the ground.

The woman, identified as Lidia Stepanivna, left a rural settlement in Donetsk, Eastern Ukraine, which is now occupied by Russia – she was trying to reach areas controlled by Kyiv.

She said she had walked without food or water and fell several times, in a video posted by Ukraine's police on social media.

In a statement, Ukraine's interior ministry said that the woman was discovered by Ukraine's military and then was taken to a shelter for evacuees by police.

Shells probably bumped off her iron will.
What a badass
When the last world war broke off, she was 13.

She is an old woman and won't harm anyone. Let her pass in peace.

It's not "Russian territory", it's the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine by Russian forces.

Putin and his ego, imo, is the sole reason for this devastation. This beautiful woman is so brave and determined. True courage!

Reminds me of my great aunt who did the same thing in the 1930s walking from Russia to Ukraine SSR

They must have seen her and thought they were seeing a real Babayaga and feared the curse and left her alone. I am so glad she is safe. Such an amazing story. Thank you.
