Ukrainian woman on settling in and creating a new life in Carrickfergus

A Ukrainian woman now living in Co Antrim has opened up about her experience of moving her life to a new country.

Alisa Lymanska, 31, is from a town in the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine called Kramatorsk and moved to Carrickfergus two weeks ago as part of the UK's Homes for Ukraine scheme.

After completing the visa process and having video calls with their host family, Alisa drove more than 5,500km with her husband and seven-year-old daughter to resettle in Northern Ireland.
