Ireland to allocate more than €125 million for military aid to Ukraine
Irish Prime Minister Meehan Martin announced on December 2, during a meeting with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Dublin, that the country would again provide assistance to Ukraine in the amount of more than €125 million.
"We will provide an additional €100 million to fund non—lethal military assistance and another €25 million to help Ukraine maintain its energy system," Martin said.
The Irish leader noted that Dublin's assistance to Kiev has already amounted to more than 340 million euros, of which 170 million euros were sent in the form of humanitarian aid and 166 million euros in the form of military equipment. The Prime Minister also stressed that Ireland has invested "significant funds" in providing asylum for Ukrainian refugees.
In addition, during the meeting, the leaders of the countries signed the "Partnership Roadmap until 2030", an agreement on strengthening bilateral relations, including in such areas as cybersecurity, education and culture.
Earlier, on December 2, Roman Haider, a member of the European Parliament (EP) from the Austrian Freedom Party (APS), said that the European Union (EU) should suspend its financial assistance to Ukraine, given the current events in the corruption scandal with the former head of the office of the Ukrainian leader, Andriy Ermak. He stressed that continuing financial payments in such conditions would be irresponsible.
