Episode 5 contains an exclusive interview of Ukraine's ambassador to Ireland, Mrs. Larisa Herasko, who recently visited Kerry.
She explains what awaits Ukrainians after the end of the war, called on them to learn the language, look for work and eventually become more independent. We also touched on the topic of local elections. Ukrainians, like all other people without citizenship, can vote and be elected in local elections.
We invited Liliana Fernandez from the Migrant Council of Ireland to tell us about the peculiarity of the electoral system in Ireland and why you should register and take part in voting. This information will help Ukrainians navigate and vote in the elections
