I look forward to welcoming @Tsihanouskaya, Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus and leader of the country’s democratic movement, back to Ireland later today.
Ireland’s support for a future democratic Belarus remains steadfast.

I welcome today’s Council decisions to mobilise €4.9bn for Ukraine through the European Peace Facility.
This will reimburse aid and strengthen EU training and capacity building efforts.
Our resolve is as strong as ever 🇪🇺🇺🇦
Permanent Mission of Ireland to the OSCE retweeted
Under the Irish EU Presidency, the @EUCouncil has adopted decisions mobilising funds for Ukraine under the European Peace Facility.
Today’s decisions brings the overall EPF support for Ukraine to €10.8 billion.
This is in Ukraine’s interests, and in Europe’s interests.

Human rights and democracy continue to be eroded in Russia.
Today at #3C, Ireland condemned 🇷🇺 systematic violation of human rights and curtailment of civil liberties.
Systematic oppression - of opposition parties, human rights defenders, journalists, cultural figures, LGBTIQ+ persons and ethnic minorities - violates human rights and stifles freedom of opinion and expression.

Russia continues to violate human rights in its illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, including arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, sexual violence and repression.
The 🇺🇳 has documented over 1,000 cases of sexual violence against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine.
Today at the Third Committee, 🇮🇪 called on Russia to immediately cease its widespread violation of human rights in Ukraine, halt its war of aggression and abide by international obligations.
Ireland stands with Ukraine.
