On the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, around 150 protesters gathered in Ireland to support Ukraine and condemn Russian aggression. The demonstration followed troubling remarks from US President Trump, who labeled Ukraine's leader a "dictator" and suggested Ukraine started the conflict. As protesters voiced their concerns, a counter-protest led to a brief scuffle requiring police intervention. Participants expressed urgency for Western support for Ukraine, criticizing Trump’s involvement in peace discussions as predatory and harmful to Ukraine's sovereignty.
"I can't believe it's three years now, and we feel that the west has to wake up and help Ukraine and resolve this with a just victory."
"He's trying to rob Ukraine of its lithium, and he's trying to make them pay when they are at their lowest ebb. To me he's looking like a predator looking for an opportunity."
"I think that Ireland has to stand behind and with Ukraine, particularly with the developments of the last few weeks with President Trump. Even more so, Europe needs to be the bulwark for Ukraine."
"You feel there aren't many things you can do against a war in Ukraine so you have to do the little things you can do, like protest."
