Ukrainian woman rescued from invasion by Irish church she volunteered for
A young Ukrainian woman has been rescued from the Russian invasion by an Irish church she volunteered with three years ago.
Oleksandra Hromova, 23, and her mother Yuliia, 45, from Dnipro, are now living in Dublin thanks to two Salvation Army officers.
The former management and economics student first came to Ireland in 2019 during a gap year to volunteer with the church and charity – one of the largest providers of homelessness services in the capital.
