Ireland has pledged to provide Ukrainians with another €128 million in non-lethal support and €40 million in humanitarian aid this year. This was reported by the press service of the President of Ukraine following a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Prime Minister of Ireland.
Simon Harris signed an agreement with Zelenskyy on support for Ukraine and cooperation between Ukraine and Ireland. According to the document, Ireland pledges to support Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity, rebuilds its economy, protects its citizens and advances its reform agenda, and continues its path towards integration and accession to the EU.
"We thank the people and the government of Ireland for their solidarity with our people and unwavering support!" the President said in his message.
The agreement between the two countries states that since February 2022, Ireland has allocated about €380 million for humanitarian, stabilisation and non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine. Ireland's commitments to Ukraine are aimed at complementing the contributions of other signatories to the G7 Declaration, including the EU and its member states. These commitments to Ukraine have been agreed with partners and fully reflect the EU-Ukraine Joint Security Commitments signed on 27 June 2024.
In this context, Ireland will continue to provide long-term political, security and financial support, as well as humanitarian assistance, to Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russian invasion. Ukraine, for its part, is firmly committed to implementing governance reforms, including transparency, accountability and anti-corruption reforms.
