Every evening a little before 8, a train pulls into the station in this central-eastern Ukrainian town, brakes squealing. It's the last rail service out of eastern Ukraine's bombed-out Donbas region.

Eighty-three-year-old Lidia Havrilenko steps off the train, looking frail and lost. She's holding her most precious possessions in two plastic bags by her side.

"I came with my two cats," she says, as one of the felines fearfully pokes its head from the top of the bag.

She's also traveling with her 52-year-old son, who recently had a stroke and walks with a cane.
