Mr. Harris affirmed Ireland's unwavering support for Ukraine's President Zelensky, emphasizing the importance of respecting Ukraine's sovereignty ahead of Taoiseach Micheál Martin's upcoming discussions on U.S.-Ireland relations. His comments came amidst ongoing concerns regarding U.S. President Trump's labeling of Zelensky as a dictator, which sparked alarm in Europe. Harris stressed that peace negotiations must include Ukraine, reiterating that decisions cannot be made without its involvement, all while highlighting Ireland's stance in a challenging international context.
There's real alarm and concern across the European Union, and I think across Ireland, in terms of some of the rhetoric that we've heard in relation to Ukraine in recent days.
Ukraine is a sovereign country. Its territorial independence must be respected.
In terms of peace, how peace is brought about matters as well.
Nothing can be decided about Ukraine without Ukraine's involvement in negotiations.
