Met with Ukrainian people living in Ireland. Their worry for their loved ones & their country is immense. Ireland stands in solidarity with them. We will support them at an EU, UN and practical level in every way we can #StandWithUkraine#Ukraine
#Ukraine will not give up! We are fighting for freedom at #EU East frontline
Show you solidarity, dear friends. Not only in words, but in deeds
