She fled to Ireland in June, and has been staying in Westmeath since.
Christmas is a time of joy for most people, but for one Ukrainian woman staying in the midlands, it's the opposite.
Victoria Hurshka fled the war in her home country in June, and has been staying at the Annebrook Hotel in Mullingar since.
She says last December all the family were together and now everything has changed for her.
She's returned to Mullingar this week from Kyiv after burying her fiancé, who was killed in a car crash in Ukraine.
Ms. Hurshka says it's like living in hell:
