Ukrainian refugee in Dublin says ongoing war still 'keeps her awake' at night

A Dublin-based Ukrainian refugee says the conflict in her home country 'keeps her awake' at night ahead of the war's one year anniversary.

Oleksandra was brought to Dublin by The Salvation Army in March last year, alongside her mother. The two trekked over 30 hours from their hometown in Dnipro to the Polish border after the war broke out.

While the two found a safe haven in Dublin, Oleksandra's thoughts remain with those left behind. She says her family and friends in Dnipro no longer go to bomb shelters, as the conflict is now synonymous with daily life back home.
