A six-year-old Ukrainian girl received the best birthday surprise as her dad showed up at her school and they were reunited for the first time since April.
Sofiia Badrak and her mum Yuliia fled Ukraine due to the ongoing war and took shelter in Ireland, while her dad remained in the country to fight against Vladimir Putin's troops.
Yesterday, the girl's father, Stanislav, surprised her by showing up at Brooklodge School in Glanmire, Co Cork, at lunchtime, the Irish Mirror reports.
