Tonight, we adorn our European institutions with the colours of Ukraine. Two colours, carrying the spirit of courage. 
Two colours, burning with resistance. Four years into Russia’s full-scale war, these colours are shining brighter than ever Slava Ukraini.

Ireland stands with Ukraine, The EU stands with Ukraine, American must one again stand for truth and justice and stand with Ukraine

As Iranians reach bravely for freedom, the United States—the supposed home of it—stands under scrutiny. The EU watches quietly as a new world order takes shape, while Russia and China dismiss freedoms altogether and move forward unchecked. What a New Year lies ahead

Pope Leo XIV said he feels "great sadness" that Russia did not agree to a Christmas ceasefire and once again called for 24 hours of peace. "Truly, one of the things that causes me great sadness these days is the fact that Russia has apparently rejected the request for a Christmas truce. Once again, I make this appeal to all people of goodwill to observe, at least on the feast of the birth of the Savior, a day of peace. Perhaps they will listen to us, and there will be 24 hours, a day of peace, across the world," he said, speaking to journalists.

A beautiful evening, and what did I see over the Shannon Happy Christmas to all.

Слава Україні Ireland’s & EU’s continuing solidarity with, & support for Ukraine (as well as for Rule of Law in international affairs) was in full view during the visit to Dublin today by President Zelensky & Madam Zelenska. Ласкаво просимо, Дякуємо що завітали до нас 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 🌻☘️

I addressed the Irish Oireachtas. It is a great honor for me to stand here today – in a country that understands the price of freedom better than many in Europe, better than many in the world, and that shares our belief that every voice counts, every nation matters. Please remember, your voice matters – from Ireland’s vote at the United Nations, to the words in your media. From your thoughts here in Dublin, to every home in the global Irish community around the world. That’s millions of people who can influence hundreds of millions more. When the most powerful apply pressure, the global community helps guide that pressure in the right direction. The aggressor must be held accountable for what was done. Please, take an active role in making the Tribunal for this aggression a reality. Not just joining, but pushing, working, insisting that justice must begin with accountability. Please, continue to advocate for every form of sanctions against Russia. And it is time for Russian assets to serve the cause of peace – to help defend and rebuild Ukraine. This is a long-overdue decision, and it must be implemented. And please – call on everyone in the world to help return all the children abducted by Russia, and all the prisoners still held in Russian jails and camps – many of whom have been there not just since 2022, but since 2014, when Russia launched its hybrid war against us and occupied Crimea. This has gone on far too long to simply close our eyes and turn the page on Russia. Without a just peace, hatred will not fade – it will continue to smolder and provoke new violence. History has seen this before. And this time, it must be different. We need real peace. Help us achieve it. And never lose your faith in Ukraine.
