Zelensky is first leader to address Dáil while at war (RTE.ie)

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, a president in the middle of an existential conflict, took time-out to address Irish politicians today.

Please review their details and accept them to load the content. President Zelensky's address today made history: the first by a world leader to be delivered to the Dáil chamber via video link; the first by a war time leader speaking from his country's shell-damaged capital city; and by a president who knows that Russian forces are mustering in the east of his country and intent on continuing to unleash hell. President Zelensky had said that Ireland had "not remained neutral to the disaster" which had befallen his country. To loud applause, he said: "We have no quarrel with Russians and admire those opposing the war." Tánaiste Leo Varadkar asserted that "Putin and his apologists" had "raped and defiled the very principles of humanity". The Ukrainian president would not have been able to see Taoiseach Micheál Martin rise to his feet, with a badge pinned to his lapel with both Irish and Ukranian flags.

“And to have the very existence of our national identity questioned too. Those responsible will be held to account,” Mr Martin told the Dail. “We are a militarily neutral country. However, we are not politically neutral in the face of war crimes. For these reasons, we feel for the idealism of the Ukrainian people – their defiance and their determination to face down a new evil empire.” Irish and Ukrainian schoolchildren from St Joseph’s in the Dublin suburb of Fairview sang the national anthems of the two countries. Outside the gates of Leinster House in the Irish capital, a small group of Ukrainian supporters gathered to listen to proceedings. What Irish politicians heard was a demand for Irish and European support for the country in the face of Russian aggression. “Russia will have to live with the shame of what they have done in Ukraine for generations. The reason, a spokesperson said, was a disagreement with calls from Mr Zelensky for Nato involvement in the war, as well citing demands for more sanctions and a “decision to ban opposition parties” in Ukraine. The voice of the Ukrainian leader, which has been heard in parliaments all the way from Brussels to Washington, was replaced by that of a translator. President Volodymyr Zelensky hushed the Irish parliament on Wednesday all the way from Ukraine, on a day when the languages of the two countries intermingled inside and outside the chamber.
