Irish student feeling ‘hopeless’ after evacuation from eastern Ukraine fails: IT, 070322

The family of Irish medical student Racheal Diyaolu, who remains stranded in northeastern Ukraine, say the 19-year-old is feeling “hopeless” after a planned evacuation to get her to the Polish border failed on Sunday.
Racheal’s sister Christiana Diyaolu said her family hoped her younger sister would get out of the northeastern university city of Sumy with the help of two British men driving Ukrainian refugees to the Polish border.
Racheal and two friends were scheduled to be collected at 7am local time on Sunday but the two volunteers reportedly had to turn back because their vehicle had been shot at by Russian military.
The two sisters arranged the passage to the Polish border after contacting the British men, who have been posting on TikTok through the “ready2rocklandscaping” account about the individual evacuations they’re carrying out across Ukraine.
However, by Sunday afternoon Racheal was back in her university accommodation as Russian forces continued to shell the city for the 10th day.
