Ireland commits €125M to Ukraine, allocating €100M for military aid and €25M for humanitarian and reconstruction support, reinforcing international solidarity.
Ireland will provide a further €125m in support to Ukraine next year, the government announced during Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s visit to Kyiv. The package includes €100m for non-lethal military equipment and €25m to restore and protect Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the government said.
Martin described the conflict as an “unprovoked war of aggression” and said support for Ukraine is a top priority for Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the EU. The announcement was made following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ireland has now provided more than €670m in support to Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, according to the government. Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Helen McEntee said Russia continued to target towns, cities and critical infrastructure, and that the new funding would help strengthen Ukraine’s resilience.
The government framed the €125m package as focused on immediate defence support and energy protection, citing €100m for non-lethal military equipment and €25m for energy infrastructure. Officials linked the aid to Ireland’s role in the EU presidency and highlighted the cumulative €670m support provided since 2022.
