Ambassador Jones asserts Ireland's solidarity with Ukraine at Monday Movement gathering in Stockholm
On Monday 18 May, Ambassador Barbara Jones joined Swedish politicians, aid organisations and members of civil society in a gathering for Ukraine at Norrmalmstorg in central Stockholm. As Ireland prepares for its Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the Ambassador reiterated Ireland's unwavering commitment to Ukraine.
The Ambassador emphasised Ireland's continued support for Ukraine, including through providing political, financial and humanitarian aid. She affirmed that Ireland will remain a vocal ally, prioritising our support for Ukraine during our EU Presidency.
As EU Presidency, Ireland will continue to:
- Support robust targeted sanctions against Russia.
- Work to advance Ukraine’s path to EU accession.
- Work to ensure that Ukraine continues to have access to the finance it needs, including to defend itself against Russia’s ongoing illegal aggression.
The 'Monday Movement' has provided, every week since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, a place for politicians, the diplomatic corps, aid organisations, and civic society, to gather to support the people of Ukraine. The event is organised under the leadership of Gunnar Hökmark and Fredrik Malm.
