An 11-year-old girl has learnt to walk again with the help of prosthetic legs after losing limbs in the shelling of a train station in Kramatorsk, Ukraine.

Yana Stepanenko lost both her legs in the horrific bombing of a train station on April 8. The girl's 43-year-old mother, Natalia, also lost her legs in the incident.

The family spent several months at a children's hospital in Lviv before being flown to California for further treatment.

Yana, her twin brother, and their mother were then relocated to Mira Mesa, San Diego.

Olena Zelenska, Ukraine's first lady, shared the video on Twitter writing: "Little Ukrainian Yana has more inner strength than the occupiers who tried to kill her by shelling the station in Kramatorsk.

"With each day she steps more and more confidently towards a new, happy life.

"I am glad for Yana and hope that soon we will meet in peaceful Ukraine."

This footage was filmed on August 22.
