Zelensky to meet with Irish PM

That’s according to the BBC, Ukrinform reports.

This will be the first bilateral meeting with Zelensky in Ireland, the report reads, noting it will focus on Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Harris is expected to express Ireland’s full support for Ukraine's bid toward European Union membership. The taoiseach will also confirm the Republic's membership of an international coalition for the return of the estimated 20,000 children forcibly relocated to Russia and Belarus and entered into Russian re-education programmes since the war began.

The last time the leaders met was during the Ukrainian Peace Summit in Switzerland last month.

The report recalls that the Irish government has so far provided EUR 250 million in non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine under the European Peace Facility. The country has also welcomed over 108,000 Ukrainians under the EU Temporary Protection Directive.

Irish Defence Forces members have trained 455 Ukrainian personnel in demining, battlefield casualty care, and mine clearance.
