Five-year-old Leonid Shapoval had been due to have a bone marrow transplant to treat life-threatening leukaemia this week, but Russia's invasion of Ukraine forced his family to flee. Now, when he should have been recovering in a hospital bed in Kyiv, he is in the garden at his great-aunt's house in southwest Ireland, as his parents recount their escape. Leonid's mother, Yana, 31, said the only hope for him was to leave, after scrambling to pack up their lives and queue for medicines to protect him from life-threatening sepsis. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
