A medical centre proprietor commissioned an artist to paint a mural of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the side of his premises in Granard, Co. Longford.

Patrick Durkin, of Durkin Medical, commissioned artist Phil Atkinson to paint the mural on the wall of his premises in the town.

The mural features Zelensky standing in front of a Ukrainian flag with the phrase "Slava Ukraini" which translated mean "Glory to Ukraine".Speaking at the unveiling, Atkinson said: "You have to feel for the Ukrainian people, whatever the politics and agendas of the people in power, the ordinary people are the ones to suffer. Big thanks to Patrick Durkin for commissioning this, really enjoyed painting."
