Ukrainian woman, 70, to rush 98-year-old mother to safety in wheelbarrow if fighting comes to town

A Ukrainian woman is calling home from Ireland every three hours to check on her 70-year-old mother who has a wheelbarrow with blankets at the front door to wheel her 98-year-old nana to safety if fighting comes to her native town.

Luba Healy, who has been living here for the last 22 years, says she has been crying constantly since Russia invaded her native country and would return to help but for her three young children.

The planning manager of Trimfold Envelopes in Trim, Co Meath added that she came here two decades ago to flee corruption but believes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has changed the country for the better.
