It’s 20 months since Ukraine was first attacked by Russian forces in a ruthless war that has shocked Europe and left millions displaced.

A massive death toll, horrific injuries and untold trauma has followed for the people of the towns and cities under attack while a catalogue of war crimes by Russia are being documented.

But amidst the chaos a former Irish rugby star has found a way to help with urgent medical supplies and supports by using his business brain to react to the humanitarian disaster.

Nicola speaks with Shane Leahy about his One4Humanity organisation which has brought together friends, contacts and big business from Ireland to deliver millions of euro of medical supplies and supports in a country stunned by war.
