The Lord Mayor of Dublin has slammed the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a "completely unwarranted destructive invasion and annihilation of a peaceful neighbour."
Alison Gilliland urged Dubliners to do what they can to show their support for the people of Ukraine whether that means sending supplies or simply putting up flags.
Dublin councillors held a vigil at the Mansion House at 5.45pm this evening in solidarity with those affected by the invasion.
