On Tuesday last week, the Minister met with his counterparts at the EU defence Ministers meeting in Brussels. The Council launched the EU training mission of the Ukraine armed forces. Josep Borrell, the high representative of the EU for foreign affairs and security policy is reported as saying that up to 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers will be trained in different member states. Austria has decided not to participate because it is a neutral state, yet Ireland is participating in a full-spectrum military training mission of an army that is involved in a war. How is that not a breach of neutrality?
