The main statements of President Zelensky and Prime Minister Martin:
Ukraine and Ireland discussed the joint production of UAVs, in particular maritime UAVs, to strengthen security at sea.
In the negotiations in Abu Dhabi, Ukraine offered to exchange all prisoners for all.
Security guarantees for Ukraine were also discussed. Zelensky emphasized that they are needed primarily from the US, not from Russia.
The parties raised the issue of the cessation of energy and the cessation of attacks on maritime infrastructure. Representatives of the Russian Federation said they had no authority to answer. The US will discuss these issues with Putin.
Zelensky believes there is now a "window of opportunity" to end the war by 2027. After all, the political situation in Europe may change in the future, and changes are already taking place in the US.
Ireland will pass on the details of the winter support package to Ukraine, which was previously discussed with the Northern European countries.
Zelensky said that men of military age who left Ukraine should return. At the same time, he admitted that this is a difficult issue, because people left for various reasons.
At the start of the full-scale war, 120,000 Ukrainians came to Ireland, now 80,000 remain, Martin said. According to him, European countries are looking for a way to encourage those who left illegally to return. At the same time, they do not plan to return people by force.
