I understand that the EU Foreign Affairs Council exchanged views on the conflict this week and that, at the beginning of those discussions, the Ukrainian foreign minister addressed ministers via a video link, briefing them on the latest developments on the ground and on Ukraine's priorities and needs. Will the Tánaiste give an update on what the foreign minister said and what the response was? What action is the EU taking to sustain pressure on Russia through sanctions? What engagement is the EU having with third countries to prevent the circumvention of sanctions?
