Welcome to Ukraine Simon Harris TD Grateful for the unwavering support Ireland provides for Ukraine and Ukrainians.

Yesterday, it was a Ukrainian family from #Lviv. Today, only the dad is alive – Russia killed his wife & 3 daughters – Emilia, 7, Daryna, 18, and Yaryna, 21. How many more families will be killed before #Ukraine has all the means & decisions to destroy Russia's war machine?

“Ireland and the European Union will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.” Taoiseach Simon Harris TD Harris met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський in Kyiv today and spoke about the ongoing horror following Russia's invasion.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ireland has steadfastly supported Ukraine, providing assistance amounting to approximately €380 million. Today, together with Ireland’s Taoiseach Simon Harris TD, we signed an Agreement on Support for Ukraine and Cooperation

Today, we signed a bilateral security agreement between Ukraine and Ireland, which will enable us to fully realize the potential of cooperation between our countries, as well as with our partners within the entire framework of security agreements. The agreement also ensures

If Ukraine had more air defense systems capable of intercepting Russia’s ballistic missiles, fewer lives would have been lost in #Poltava yesterday. Russia, its leaders, and all those who give and follow orders to kill must be held accountable.

Thank you Simon Harris TD 🇮🇪 for the solidarity with the people of 🇺🇦 Ireland's support enables us to help families like Nataliia & Mykola whose house was destroyed in an attack. UNHCR installed a pre-fabricated home on their own land. Now they can recover + rebuild their lives.

At a meeting with 🇮🇪 Prime Minister Simon Harris TD, we talked about the consequences of the russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. We discussed the strengthening of air defence, the tightening of sanctions and the situation in the energy sector. I thanked Irish companies

We are appalled by the recent escalation in Russian missile attacks against Ukraine, and the further loss of life. A State that targets civilians clearly has no interest in peace. Ireland will continue to stand with Ukraine as it defends itself against Russian aggression.

This is our Ukrainian #volia! "Volia" is a unique word that simultaneously means freedom and the power of intention. It’s a kind of Ukrainian philosophy that is evident in everything: in our daily work and our resistance to the Russian invasion.
