Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheál Martin made a powerful, emotional visit to Kyiv, witnessing firsthand the devastation from recent Russian missile strikes that killed one and wounded seventeen near the Lukianivska metro station. Speaking to residents who described surviving explosions and shrapnel, Martin delivered a direct appeal to Putin: “Let’s have a ceasefire and let’s have it now.” As Ireland holds the EU presidency, Martin reinforced Ireland’s unwavering support for Ukraine’s EU accession, pushing for expanded negotiations by year’s end. He also announced an additional €125 million in aid — €100 million for non-lethal military support and €25 million for energy infrastructure protection — underscoring Ireland’s commitment to Ukraine’s survival and European future.
