Ireland will take part in the work of the Shelter Coalition.
This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at a joint press conference with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
“We agreed that Ireland will take part in the Shelter Coalition. We discussed this issue today under the chairmanship of our Finnish friends, and tomorrow we will also discuss it in detail with other partners,” the head of state said.
In addition, Zelenskyy and Martin discussed the details of a drone deal. “The priority is security at sea, maritime drones. We are ready to help everyone; we are ready for co-production with Ireland. We expect that a Drone Deal with Ireland can work,” the head of state added.
- The Shelter Coalition was launched last May.
- After the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on 27 November that same year, the European Union, Lithuania, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland and the European Investment Bank joined the coalition.
