President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Prime Minister of Ireland Simon Harris have signed an agreement on support for Ukraine and cooperation between the two countries.
This is stated on the website of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ireland has provided humanitarian, stabilization and non-lethal military assistance to Ukraine worth about 380 million euros.
This year, Ireland has pledged to provide another €128 million in non-lethal military support and at least €40 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Ireland will also provide demining systems and explosive ordnance disposal equipment and will continue to participate in the demining coalition. In addition, the country will explore other potential ways to support the capabilities of the Defense Contact Group through coalitions, such as the IT coalition.
Ireland will provide ongoing training to the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the EU Military Assistance Mission (EUMAM) in Ukraine.
Separate blocks of the agreement outline humanitarian assistance, as well as support for recovery and reforms, in particular on Ukraine’s path to EU membership. Ireland will contribute to bringing the Russian Federation to justice, compensating for the damage caused by the aggression, and further strengthening sanctions pressure on Russia.
In addition, Ireland will continue to make diplomatic efforts to implement the Peace Formula and participate in a number of working groups and in the implementation of specific elements of the Formula, in particular in the work of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, – the Office of the President of Ukraine noted.
In total, Ukraine has already concluded 26 bilateral agreements to implement the G7 Joint Declaration adopted in Vilnius on July 12, 2023.
