A Dublin woman has opened up about her family's terrifying journey from war-torn Ukraine.
Marina Golodnikova lives in Dalkey with her six-year-old son, and she decided to visit her mother in Kharkiv over the midterm break just before the country was invaded by Russia.
Marina and her family, as well as their two cats, were forced to flee Kharkiv and cross thousands of miles to reach Dulblin.
