There should be no tourist visas for Russians throughout the EU as long as they support the war, whether openly or tacitly!

[UKR Embassy to Ireland @UKRinIRL]

The Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland expresses its serious concern regarding the continued export of alumina from Ireland to the Russian Federation.

According to a trade data, this troubling trade flow has increased significantly, with exports rising from €196 million in 2021 to €318 million in 2025, positioning the Russian Federation as the largest destination for Irish alumina exports and surpassing traditional European partners. This represents the highest level of exports to Russia since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

These figures raise serious concerns, as alumina remains a critical raw material for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex. Aluminium is used in the manufacture of a wide range of Russian military systems, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Shahed-136/Geran-2 attacks unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

The devastating consequences of Russia’s military production continue to be felt daily by the people of Ukraine. Over the past week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 2,900 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and more than 150 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and communities. Every activity may contribute to sustaining Russia’s industrial and military capacity warrants careful examination.

The Embassy takes note of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the relevant Irish authorities and welcomes the Irish Government’s commitment to establishing all relevant facts. We look forward to the timely conclusion of this process and to any measures deemed necessary on the basis of its findings.

Ukraine fully recognises the importance of protecting jobs, communities, and industrial competitiveness in Ireland and across the European Union. At the same time, Russia’s continued war of aggression requires constant vigilance to ensure that commercial activities do not directly or indirectly contribute to sustaining the military capabilities of a state engaged in a brutal and unprovoked war against a sovereign European nation.

Ukraine highly values its strong partnership with Ireland and deeply appreciates the steadfast support and solidarity demonstrated by the Irish Government and the Irish people since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We count on Ireland’s continued leadership in supporting Ukraine, strengthening the effectiveness of international sanctions, and ensuring that European resources, technologies, and supply chains cannot be exploited to sustain Russia’s war machine.

The Embassy of Ukraine remains committed to constructive engagement with Irish partners on this important issue in the shared interests of European security, international law, and accountability.

Our new survey captures the voices of 1,462 Ukrainians across Ireland living under Temporary Protection.

Many feel connected through work, schools & local communities, but concerns about long-term stability remain.

Progress is clear—but more is needed to ensure dignity, stability & a true sense of home.

The @IFRC is following closely and is deeply concerned about the recent escalation of hostilities in the Middle East.

All National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in the region are on high alert for any possible responses needed.

The IFRC calls for the preservation of humanitarian space so humanitarian and medical personnel can operate safely and reach people in need.

4 years of the largest war in Europe since WW2 today. @MaryLouMcDonald @sinnfeinireland remember your speech by the GPO in support of Ukraine, the very place where the founding fathers of the Irish state stood so bravely in the face of death. Are their shadows not haunting you?

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Four years of extraordinary courage.

Ukraine’s fight for freedom is the fight for our shared European values.

The EU stands united in its unwavering support against Russia's war of aggression. We are with you for as long as it takes. 🇪🇺🇺🇦

Russia's destruction of vital medical equipment donated by the Irish people is appalling.

This aid was intended to support 🇺🇦 hospitals already operating under extremely difficult conditions.

This attack is another example of 🇷🇺’s complete disregard for civilian suffering.
