A stark reminder of what Ukrainians endure every single day. Air raid sirens. Missile attacks. Uncertainty. The resilience of the Ukrainian people remains extraordinary. Our commitment to supporting them must remain equally steadfast.
By striking the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of the greatest holy sites of Christianity, Putin has forever put his name on the list of history’s worst barbarians. He should be damned for centuries. And he will lose this war. From the Horde in the 13th century to the Nazis and Bolsheviks in the 20th century, Kyiv’s sacred monasteries have suffered numerous barbarically attacks. Now we are dealing with Russian terrorists who have already outmatched ISIS in their crimes against cultural heritage. Only Russian scum who have nothing sacred can deliberately damage the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a unique UNESCO heritage site under special protection. We will be urgently initiating all relevant procedures within UNESCO and all other international mechanisms, demanding immediate and adequate responses to this state barbarism. We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism.

The @Ireland2026EU logo is inspired by the spiral structure of galaxies, with each arm featuring 27 discs, symbolising the 27 EU Member States. The slogan, “Ní neart go cur le chéile”, comes from an Irish seanfhocal or proverb and reflects that we have “Strength with unity”.
