Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has written to Taoiseach Micheál Martin to tell him he appreciates Ireland’s “unwavering support” for Ukraine to join the EU.
Mr Martin received a letter from Zelensky on Wednesday, a Government spokesman has confirmed, which read: “The citizens of Ukraine highly appreciate the unwavering support from Ireland and the friendly Irish people in the implementation of the European integration strategy of our state.
“I express my sincere gratitude to Ireland and you personally for supporting the historic decision of the European Council to grant Ukraine the official status of a candidate country for membership in the European Union.”
