H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

First, I want to thank everyone for not asking me how long this war will last. Instead, they have asked how to help Ukraine to end it faster. I really appreciate that. Your support, the support of Ireland and the support of all our partners is very important to us. As I mentioned, the sooner Ukraine gets security assistance the faster we will win. Of course we need political support and access to full EU membership. Co-leadership in implementing a peace formula is very important. Accountability is a key element of the peace formula. This involves directing frozen assets to Ukraine to use for the rebuilding and reconstruction of our country. The financial support and support for our country that is provided from the European Peace Facility and within the framework of the European military assistance mission for Ukraine is, of course, military support but there is also an appreciation of those with neutral status. We need all kinds of supports and further pressure on Russia.
