Micheal Martin gave the commitment to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting of Ukraine’s allies in Kyiv on Monday
.
He added that Ireland will work with other countries to ensure there will be accountability for war crimes, particularly noting Ukrainian children who have been abducted during the conflict. The Taoiseach also said it was "extremely important" for the European Union to accelerate Ukraine’s membership of the bloc.
"What we must now resolve is to ensure that Russia is never rewarded for what it did three years ago." Meanwhile, Ireland’s Tanaiste and Foreign Affairs minister said it would be "irresponsible" for the country to rule out sending peacekeepers to Ukraine in the future. Mr Harris is to present proposals to Cabinet to change Ireland’s "triple lock" system for deploying soldiers on peacekeeping, crisis management and evacuation missions.
Pre-legislative scrutiny of the amendment by the Foreign Affairs Committee will be required as part of the proposed change.
