Members of the Ukrainian community in Ireland are said to be travelling to Ukraine to join the fight against the Russian invasion.

Crowds have gathered on Grand Parade in the city centre to protest the war for the second time since Friday.

Fighting has broken out in Ukraine’s second city and the latest reports suggest the Russians are closing in on the capital Kyiv, which has suffered heavy bombardment from missiles again over night.

It’s feared hundreds have been killed, while the United Nations says almost 370,000 people have fled the country since the outbreak of war.

Speaking to RedFM at today's demonstration, Julia Garreau says some Ukrainians felt like they had no other choice but to join the fight:
