Longford mother and daughter to drive 2,695km and hand-deliver aid to Ukrainian refugees in Poland

A mother and daughter from Longford are set to embark on a massive 2,695km journey to hand-deliver supplies to Ukrainian refugees living along the border in Poland.

The pair have been collecting donations from the public over recent days, which they are packing into a truck and trailer that will travel via boat and road to deliver the supplies later this week.

Fighting in Ukraine has pushed more than 500,000 people across the country's borders so far, according to the UN refugee agency. Russia's invasion of the country has been condemned internationally.
