The Taoiseach has been invited to visit Ukraine by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Zelenskyy extended the invitation to Varadkar during a phone call between the two leaders earlier today.
“The Taoiseach said Ireland would continue to provide financial and other assistance to Ukraine. Ireland was very aware of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and was pleased to help with equipment to repair its electricity grid, such as the large transformer sent from Ireland to Ukraine this month,” a Government spokesperson said.
“Had the first phone call with Prime Minister of Ireland Leo Varadkar. Thanked for freezing Russian assets, discussed support for Ukraine’s energy system and post-war recovery. Invited to join the implementation of the Peace Formula,” Zelenskyy tweeted.
