@thetimes: It was just weeks before Olha Khmarna’s 106th birthday when a Russian bomb exploded in her neighbourhood in Izyum, Ukraine, while she was doing her morning exercises. Izyum, just 20 miles from Russia’s frontline, is under relentless bombardment in the Kharkiv region. The October 15 attack was the third time in her long life that Khmarna had survived enemy bombing. Her first escape was during the Second World War when a Nazi bomb hit the factory where she was working. 🗣️“We’ve lived through so much. How long will it go on for? Who needs this? Russia has become completely uncontrollable. They were considered our friends once. They have killed and crippled so many people and destroyed so many homes.” *FOR NEWS PURPOSES* #news #russia #ukraine #kharkiv #internationalnews
