Ukrainian president expresses deep thanks for the help of ordinary EU citizens
He said that Mr Zelenskiy “had a list of things that he’d like us to provide… some of it is weapons which of course we can’t provide but most of it is non-lethal equipment and I’ll be taking that home to Ireland tomorrow and be talking to the Defence Forces and the Tánaiste, and we’ll see what we can do.”
“You know, we do want to obviously encourage Ukrainians who can enter the workforce to become self-sufficient. To take up employment, to provide for their own accommodation and their own needs. Mr Zelenskiy’s visit was a rare trip outside Ukraine since the invasion began, aimed at securing additional support to help his country continue to rebuff the Russian invasion.
