Zelensky Lands in Ireland for EU Presidency | Dublin News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky lands in Ireland for the official kickoff of Ireland’s six-month EU presidency, symbolizing deep EU solidarity with Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion. He’ll be welcomed at Dublin Airport and addressed at Dublin Castle, where Ireland’s Tánaiste will highlight Zelensky’s courage and Ukraine’s resilience as guiding principles for Ireland’s EU leadership. The visit also kicks off efforts to deepen economic ties and push for Ukraine’s EU membership. With Ireland potentially revisiting its controversial Triple Lock policy on deploying troops overseas — including possible peacekeeping support in eastern Ukraine — the timing is charged with geopolitical significance. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military gains via long-range drones contrast with Russia’s stalled advances in Donbas. First Lady Olena Zelenska’s attendance remains uncertain.
