Ireland to provide 'initial 10m humanitarian fund' to aid Ukraine
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said Ireland will provide "an initial €10 million fund towards humanitarian purposes" in Ukraine, but added that the Government would "stand ready to do whatever else it can".
Speaking in Brussels tonight, Mr Martin said EU leaders were gathering to "collectively condemn the outrageous and immoral attack" on Ukraine.
"Ireland stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in their darkest hour", he said, adding he will support the imposition of comprehensive and severe sanctions on Russia.
The Taoiseach said Ireland would be striving to secure the "strongest possible" measures against Moscow.
