Ireland to Give €125m to Ukraine as Zelensky Visits Dublin

President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska arrived in Dublin for their first official visit and Zelensky addressed a joint sitting of the Oireachtas, broadcast on RTÉ One from just before 3pm.
President Volodymyr Zelensky sought Irish backing to strengthen Ukraine's negotiating position amid US ceasefire efforts, while Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee plans to propose Ireland's participation in an International Claims Commission.
Leinster House was closed to all but essential personnel while Gardaí warned of traffic restrictions across central Dublin and deployed the Emergency Response Unit's armoured jeep near Government Buildings.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said `for as long as it takes`, with the Irish Cabinet approving 125m plus 100 million for non-lethal military aid and 25m for urgent energy support.
Amid active diplomacy, Zelensky met Emmanuel Macron and joined calls with about a dozen European leaders while thanking Ireland for hosting 120,000 refugees, with Tetiana Bilous saying, `We were living a normal life and suddenly everything was interrupted, everything was ended.
