Shmyhal discusses with Irish counterpart Ukraine's integration into NATO, EU
Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal had talks with newly appointed Prime Minister of Ireland Simon Harris on Monday, April 29.
"We discussed the situation on the battlefield and Russia's missile attacks against our civilians and critical infrastructure. I noted that Ukraine needs more air defense to protect people and more artillery to strengthen our soldiers," he said on the Telegram channel.
Shmyhal also thanked Ireland for supporting Ukraine's integration into NATO and the EU.
"We count on Ireland's solidarity to open EU accession talks by the end of June," he said.
The parties also discussed the confiscation of Russian assets.
"We are working with all stakeholders to find effective legal mechanisms. We have a common goal – to make the aggressor pay," Shmyhal said.
He also expressed gratitude for Ireland's assistance in humanitarian demining and proposed developing joint production of necessary equipment.
