Taoiseach said international rules-based order was only guarantor of Irish security
Ireland has pledged to increase its support for Ukraine, with Taoiseach Micheál Martin committing to "say more, spend more, and do more" to assist in its defense against Russia. Martin emphasized Ukraine's fight as a defense of international rules and UN Charter principles, supporting Ukraine's EU membership acceleration and using frozen Russian assets for reconstruction. He noted Russia's failure to achieve invasion goals. Tánaiste Simon Harris discussed potential contributions, including radar donations and peacekeeping roles under international mandates. The EU expressed concerns about the US under Trump scaling back military aid.
