My Department does not maintain data on the number of Irish citizens who may have travelled to fight in Ukraine since 24 February this year or who may currently be in active combat there, and has not received any confirmed reports of such citizens who may have died.
The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against all travel to Ukraine, for any purpose. Irish citizens in Ukraine should leave if safe to do so. The situation remains extremely dangerous across all of Ukraine. Any citizen requiring consular assistance in Ukraine should contact our Embassy in Kyiv, noting that our capacity to provide consular assistance is extremely limited.
We are continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine very closely, together with our EU and other international partners.
