The Ukrainian people express their profound gratitude to the Irish government and the citizens of Ireland for their unwavering support and solidarity since the onset of the war.

This steadfast commitment reflects the deep bonds of friendship and shared values between our nations, and we hold it in the highest regard.
Go raibh míle maith agat, Éire!
