A Ukrainian Instagram influencer was instrumental in helping an Irish woman track down her Chernobyl 'brother' after nearly two decades and bring him home from the war-torn country. 

Jennifer Drum (38) had messaged more than 50 people on the social media platform with the same surname as the then-little boy Yaroslav (Yaro) Sydoryshyn who used to come to their Co. Meath home for summers from the age of nine, as part of the Chernobyl project.
