Martin said that “Ukraine belongs to the European Union” and that Ireland will be with Ukraine “every step of the way”.

It cannot and will not be allowed”, continued Martin and mentioned that he “witnessed firsthand the horrible reality of the war against the people of Ukraine” while visiting the cities of Borodianka, Irpin and Bucha.
