Foreign Policy

============================================================

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I am sorry; he is representing us in Rome today and showing the Government’s support. On 23 June, the Foreign Affairs Council discussed co-ordinating a strong and united European response behind Ukraine, including stepping up the EU’s political and military support. Ukraine’s foreign minister highlighted recent very worrying developments in Ukraine. It is absolutely clear Russia is engaging in the crimes of aggression. It is not engaging in peace talks in any good faith. It maintains its maximalist demands and in this context it is more important than ever that we bolster support for Ukraine across all work stands. At the meeting in Rome today, the Minister of State, Deputy Richmond, and European colleagues will work constructively in assisting the work of the tribunal.
