Ukraine-Russia war LIVE – WW3 ‘a real danger’ warns Russian foreign minister

‘My bathroom is the last bit of my flat Putin hasn’t blitzed’

A GRAN trapped near Ukraine’s front line has been forced to sleep on a chair in her bathroom as it is the only room in her bomb-blitzed flat protected from shelling.

Vera Hurovaya and hubby Vladimir Krupenya live in the last block of flats left on the edge of Kharkiv.

Neighbours have fled the Saltivka district, a wasteland due to non-stop Russian bombardments.

Their besieged home overlooking no-man’s land is just 2½ miles from Russia’s positions.

And they are too frail to make the life-or-death dash to an underground shelter as rockets, missiles and tank bombardments crash in day and night.

Their heartwrenching tale came as Russian forces blasted five railway stations in central and western Ukraine hours after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken travelled by rail to capital Kyiv.
