24th February was the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine.

Since it started, over 4 million refugees have had to move within Ukraine.

And 6.8 million have escaped abroad.

Many refugees went to countries nearby.

But around 110,000 Ukrainians were given a safe home by Ireland.

Hundreds are in Dublin for this anniversary.

They're showing support for family and friends in Ukraine.

Student Artem Kuraksyn used to live in Kharkiv.

He was 15 when everything changed.

The refugees carried a message through the streets.

They want to be heard.

International leaders are looking for a solution which will stop the fighting.

Leaders must remember that decisions affect Ukraine and its people, says Olha Chekmaieva.

She's part of Ukrainian Action in Ireland, which arranged the event.

Refugees have also talked about life in Ireland.

Artem says they have received an amazing welcome here.

President Putin thought that Russia could take over Ukraine easily.

But the war's already lasted three years and Russia's progress has been slow.

It only controls 11 percent more land in Ukraine than it had controlled before the war.

The fighting's destroyed lots of Ukraine's land.

42,000 everyday Ukrainians have died or been hurt because of the war.

This is why, for people like student Anastasia Koslova, the situation isn't simple.
