Lidia Stepanivna Lomikovska and her family decided to leave the front-line town of Ocheretyne, in the eastern Donetsk region, last week after Russian troops entered it and fighting intensified.

Lidia Stepanivna Lomikovska, a 98-year-old woman in Ukraine, escaped Russian-occupied territory by walking nearly 6 miles alone, according to officials.
