Ireland’s Martin in Kyiv Amid Crisis | Cork News
Description
Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin made a powerful emotional visit to Kyiv, witnessing firsthand the devastation of recent Russian missile strikes that have left families homeless and terrified. Standing beside survivors like Oleh Kutz and Liudmyla Vladnya, Martin heard harrowing personal stories that fueled his call for an immediate ceasefire. As Ireland holds the EU presidency under the theme “strength with unity,” Martin announced a major €125 million aid package — including €100 million in non-lethal military support and €25 million for Ukraine’s energy infrastructure — while also reaffirming Ireland’s unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s EU path. Despite sensitive trade tensions over alumina exports, both leaders emphasized cooperation, with Zelensky welcoming Martin as a steadfast ally in Ukraine’s European future.
