Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris discussed increasing the efficiency of sanctions against Russia and strengthening Ukraine during his visit to Kyiv.

"We also appreciate the fact that Ireland supports sanctions against Russia for aggression and terrorism. And today we talked in particular about how to make these steps more effective, more powerful and strengthen Ukraine," Zelenskyy said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The President noted that, unfortunately, Russia can still produce missiles using components from different countries of the world, and also creates various schemes to bypass sanctions.

"All this can only be stopped by strong, timely joint work of all countries that value a normal world order," Zelenskyy emphasized.
