The head of an Irish charity is using her knowledge of Ukraine to supply generators and ultrasound equipment along with winter clothing, blankets, tents, and vital medical supplies to people struggling in the war-torn country.

In 2011, Fiona Corcoran, who runs the Cork-based charity Greater Chernobyl Cause, received the Order of Princess Olga — the highest Ukrainian civil decoration for achievement.
