The Ukrainian people deserve a just and lasting peace, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin said during his speech at the opening plenary session of the 9th European Political Community Summit held in Dublin, APA reports.
The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of joint action to ensure that Europe remains strong, secure and interconnected.
"Europe must have a strong economy and protect its citizens from war and all threats, including hybrid threats," he noted.
Micheál Martin stated that Russia's war against Ukraine has fundamentally changed Europe's security environment.
"What is happening in Ukraine goes against all our values and the principles we stand for. That is why it is a particular honor for me to personally reaffirm our solidarity with Ukraine and its people for as long as necessary. The Ukrainian people deserve a just and lasting peace, and it is long past time for Russia to end this immoral war," the Irish Prime Minister emphasized.
