The work of a Ukrainian war refugee who has rebuilt her life in Ireland will feature at the country’s largest craft and design fair later this week.

Mother-of-three Elena Pozdniak fled her war-torn homeland last year with daughter Evelyn, seven, and son Yarolsav, 17, while eldest son Ruslan, 21, and husband Viacheslav remained to fight for their country.
