Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence to hear from the Ukrainian Ambassador and the Moldovan Ambassador

H.E.Larysa Gerasko, Ambassador of Ukraine to Ireland will address the Committee on the current situation in Ukraine and H.E. Larisa Miculeț, Ambassador of Moldova to Ireland will address the Committee on the current situation in Ukraine and its impact on Moldova.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Committee Cathaoirleach Deputy Charlie Flanagan “We look forward to discussing the current situation in Ukraine and also the impact it is having on Moldova.”

​“The one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine takes place this Friday. Moldova and Ukraine received European Union candidate status last June so this is a timely opportunity to hear an update from the Ukrainian Ambassador and to hear from the Moldovan Ambassadors given the challenges Moldova has faced as a result of the war.”

“As a small nation close to Ukraine’s western border, Moldova has increasingly found itself exposed to Russian aggression. The meeting is an opportunity for Ireland to reiterate its unwavering support for Ukraine. We look forward to discussing these and other related matters.”
