Irish PM Simon Harris in Ukraine ahead of Zelensky meeting

The Irish leader’s trip to Ukraine comes alongside a pledge of an additional €36m (£43 million) from Ireland to support humanitarian efforts, as well as “rehabilitation and eventual reconstruction” in Ukraine.

The money includes funding for the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, the United Nations Population Fund, UNICEF and the Red Cross.

The Tánaiste (Irish deputy prime minister), Micheál Martin, said the package would “provide much-needed humanitarian support and development assistance to people suffering the impact of this unjust war”.

“Recognising the particularly horrific impact of the war on women and children, Ireland’s assistance in 2024 prioritises prevention and response to sexual and gender-based violence, support for maternity services and rebuilding of homes for people forced to flee conflict and now living in collective centres,” he said.

This latest funding announcement will bring Ireland’s total funding to Ukraine since February 2022 to more than €380m.
