For this, the Russians brutally beat an elderly woman, breaking her spine.. This was reported on the Facebook page of the First Medical Association of Lviv..

According to doctors, the woman was barely able to crawl to the car and escape from the checkpoint.. By evacuation train Tatyana Antonyuk got to Lviv, where she was hospitalized in the medical and diagnostic center of St. Luke.

“The examination showed a fracture of the spine and severe bruises of the head.. The woman partially lost her hearing and could not move without assistance.. In order for Tatyana to walk, our neurosurgeons had to insert a special bone element into the broken part of the spine,” the doctors said..
