KYIV (AP): A 98-year-old woman in Ukraine who escaped Russian-occupied territory by walking almost 10 kilometres (six miles) alone, wearing a pair of slippers and supported by a cane, has been reunited with her family days after they were separated...

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.

Outmanned and outgunned, Kyiv’s forces struggle to advance against Moscow’s troops as the war drags on.

With nearly no possessions, not even a watch and one of the last refugees of her village, which was destroyed by Russians, Lidia Lominovska, 97, walked some six miles, passing by corpses.

Local authorities in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk Oblast have stopped assessing the damage of Russia’s war. Russian forces launch up to 2,500 attacks daily at the embattled region’s towns and villages located along 165 miles of the front line, according to Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin.

Parked up on a winter-grey Donbas wheatfield, a Ukrainian military officer pointed out the distant skyline of the city of Avdiivka – or what was left of it.

Avdiivka fell to the Russians after some of the most horrific and destructive fighting of the two-year-old war.
