Ireland Vows Steadfast Support for Ukraine
During a joint press briefing, Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin expressed, “we all wish that your visit here was under different, happier circumstances,” adding: “We hope that we will soon be able to welcome you back when peace has come to Ukraine and its people.”
Martin highlighted that the visit “comes at a critical moment for Ukraine and for Europe,” as the country continues to resist “the brutal and illegal war” orchestrated by Russia.
Criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin, he noted that the Russian leader “seeks to gain an advantage at the negotiating table by intensifying Russia’s relentless onslaught on the frontline and on Ukrainians, on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.”
“He must never be allowed to succeed,” Martin emphasized.
He characterized the nightly missile and drone attacks targeting Ukraine as “shocking,” and added: “The people of Ukraine deserve to be safe in their own homes. Their children deserve to sleep safely in their own beds. Ireland will continue to support the people of Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
Furthermore, Martin affirmed unwavering support for Ukraine’s aspiration to join the European Union, despite opposition from certain member states.
