Ukrainian native living in Leitrim fears for safety of friends

A Go Fund Me page Leitrim Helps Ukraine has been set up to assist refugees moving to the county.

A Ukrainian woman living in Leitrim says she fears some child refugees may never see their fathers again.

Diana Tarkovich and her husband Ivan arrived in Gorvagh over three years ago and are currently organising accommodation for those fleeing her home country.

Over 50 Ukrainian citizens are expected to arrive in Leitrim by next week including a new born baby.
