Irish in Ukraine: 'People are getting worried'
Wexford photographer Bradley Stafford found out that the Irish Government wanted him to leave Ukraine "immediately" when his sister called him out of the blue.
"She said 'have you heard the news?' and at that point I hadn't, I was out having a meal with my wife."
"I checked my email and a mail had come in from the embassy."
The mail advised all Irish citizens to leave Ukraine as soon as possible, by any means necessary.
