Taking the selfie (above) is Ukrainian refugee Kateryna Pozniakov with her daughter Ilia (age 12), who fled from Kiev to Dublin after the Russian invasion. Along with Kateryna’s mother, they are living in a hotel in Dublin. This is the second time the family has been displaced, having fled from Lugansk to Kiev in 2014 when separatists seized governmental buildings in the region and proclaimed the Luhansk People’s Republic.
UPDATE: Artwork by Aches (see comments).

Turning a townscape into a disneyesque movie set is not a “great initiative”. The architecture of DL, if properly maintained, doesn’t need these absurd murals which belong on temporary hoardings and the like. https://t.co/n1oDAs2M3W
