According to the latest report, Ireland has approved an additional €100 million in non-lethal military aid to Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris confirmed. The government of Ireland also emphasized that the U.S. decision to halt military assistance to Ukraine is “a very, very serious development.” This prompted the Ireland government to take action to help Ukraine by sending aid package. Apart from that, the Irish cabinet also approved a bill for the deployment of Irish peacekeeping forces abroad without requiring UN approval.

Sending the Ireland troops to Ukraine is part of the peacemaking mission for Ukraine. Prime Minister Martin stated this following a meeting with President Zelenskyy. Ireland also supports accelerating Ukraine’s membership in the EU, as this would not only offer security guarantees but also unlock significant economic opportunities.

It was also motioned that last month, the Irish government announced the transfer of Giraffe Mark IV radar stations to Ukraine. The transfer of radar stations aligns with Ireland’s policy of providing non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine.
