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.

Russia’s slaughter of innocent civilians in Kramatorsk and Priluki is totally reprehensible. Attacks on civilians are war crimes; those who ordered and committed these attacks must be held to account. Our thoughts are with those lost, their loved ones, and the people of Ukraine.

This morning, russians struck two passenger buses in Kramatorsk.
Local authorities now report 30 people killed and 18 injured!
People simply travelling through their city are now dead.
Ukraine is in mourning.
A day of mourning has been declared today for those killed in Pryluky in yesterday’s russian attack. On Putin’s birthday.
22 people killed. Five of them children. 54 people injured.
All night, rescue crews cleared the rubble of their homes. All night, they searched for people. They kept finding bodies.
Last night in Kyiv, a russian drone hit a block of flats. Two people were killed as they slept. Four more were hurt.
This war never pauses. Not for grief. Not while families wait for news. Not while the dead are still being recovered from underneath the rubble.
My heart is with the families and loved ones in Kramatorsk, Pryluky and Kyiv.
🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦

Welcome 🇪🇺 decision to extend sanctions on those behind Russia's hybrid attacks.
Pressure is the only language Putin understands.

The EU has extended its sanctions in response to Russia's hybrid threats until 9 October 2027.
The sanctions target those responsible for Russia's continued and intensified hybrid activities against the EU, its member states and its partners.

It was a pleasure to meet with Ambassador @JonathanConlon of Ireland to Ukraine as he concludes his mission.
I thanked him for his dedicated work in strengthening 🇺🇦🇮🇪 relations, for Ireland’s steadfast support of Ukraine, and for his personal contribution to our cooperation during these challenging years.
Our bilateral ties have ensured a special level of dialogue that’s is particularly important now during Ireland’s EU presidency.
Diplomatic missions may end, but true friendships endure.

On Ukraine’s Independence Day, I joined other leaders of the Coalition of the Willing in voicing our steadfast support for Ukraine.
ALT On Ukraine’s Independence Day, I joined other leaders of the Coalition of the Willing in voicing our steadfast support for Ukraine. I reiterated Ireland’s priority during our EU Presidency to unequivocally back Ukraine as its people continue to courageously face down brutal Russian attacks. I witnessed the impact of these indiscriminate strikes first-hand during my visit to Kyiv in July. Russia must end their barbaric war immediately. Our Presidency of the EU is working to progress Ukraine’s path towards EU membership and to bring forward the assistance Ukraine needs to continue its defence against Russian aggression. This includes the disbursement of the EU’s €90 billion loan. Today’s meeting of the Coalition of the Willing also agreed on the need to continue to put pressure on Russia to agree to a ceasefire and engage in meaningful peace negotiations, including through sanctions and tackling Russia’s shadow fleet.

Thank you, President @ZelenskyyUa, for welcoming me back to Kyiv.
I am here to express the steadfast and unwavering solidarity of the EU, and of Ireland, with the government and people of Ukraine.
Our support for Ukraine is as strong as it has ever been.

Ірландія була й залишається одним із найпослідовніших партнерів України та прихильників нашого членства в Європейському Союзі.
Радий вітати Прем’єр-міністра Ірландії Міхола Мартіна у Верховній Раді України.
Від імені українського народу подякував Ірландії за незмінну солідарність і всебічну допомогу від початку повномасштабної російської агресії. Особливо цінуємо підтримку українців, які через війну були змушені знайти прихисток в Ірландії.
Основну увагу приділили європейській інтеграції України. Важливо, що підтримка нашої держави та її просування до членства в ЄС визначені ключовими пріоритетами головування Ірландії в Раді Європейського Союзу.
Розраховуємо на лідерство Ірландії у вдосконаленні механізму розширення ЄС, збереженні позитивної динаміки переговорного процесу та відкритті наступних переговорних кластерів. Україна виконала необхідну технічну роботу й готова рухатися далі.
Обговорили подальше посилення санкційного тиску на росію та необхідність обмежити спроможність агресора фінансувати війну.
Окремо наголосив на важливості розвитку міжпарламентської співпраці — на рівні керівництва парламентів, профільних комітетів і депутатських груп дружби, а також координації наших позицій на міжнародних парламентських майданчиках.

I was pleased to welcome the Prime Minister of Ireland, @MichealMartinTD, to Kyiv for our first meeting since I assumed the office of Prime Minister.
Our discussions came on the day the European Union approved its 21st package of sanctions against Russia, an important decision that will further restrict the Kremlin's ability to finance its war against Ukraine. I thanked Ireland for its leadership in advancing these measures.
Ireland currently holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, and we highly value their contribution to opening Cluster 6, "External Relations," in Ukraine's EU accession negotiations. We count on Ireland's Presidency to help complete the opening of all remaining clusters and move swiftly toward the substantive stage of our accession process.
We also placed particular emphasis on preparing for the coming winter, restoring energy infrastructure damaged by Russian attacks, and expanding the participation of Irish companies in Ukraine's reconstruction. Despite Russia's aggression, cooperation between our businesses continues to grow, creating new opportunities for both our countries.
The people of Ireland have stood with Ukraine since the first days of the full-scale invasion. We deeply appreciate Ireland's unwavering solidarity, all the assistance it has provided, and its steadfast support for Ukraine's European future.
Thank you to Prime Minister Micheál Martin, the Government of Ireland, and the people of Ireland for standing with Ukraine.

We truly value that during Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union, Taoiseach Micheál Martin @MichealMartinTD is with us, with Ukraine, that you're standing with Ukraine, seeing for yourself what's happening, and understanding what we need to defend ourselves and protect people's lives. Today we discussed the threats and challenges we face right now, as we approach the fall, when Putin is preparing new attacks against Ukraine, additional mobilization in Russia, and a further expansion of the war.
It's important that today we have a decision on the European Union's new sanctions package against Russia. And I'm grateful to every European leader who made this possible. This is already the 21st package, and today Micheál assured me that he will work toward the 22nd.
Now, during Ireland's Presidency of the EU, there are also decisions on the clusters for Ukraine. Two clusters have already been opened, and I am grateful for the readiness to keep supporting this work. It's very important that Ireland, as the country holding the Presidency, provides leadership, and that Ukraine can count on opening the remaining clusters.
I thank Ireland and all our partners across Europe, in America, and around the world for their tangible support – and for a new support package from Ireland. It makes a difference. I thank all the people of Ireland for caring.
