Micheál Martin (Cork South-Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

First of all, I invite Deputy McDonald to talk to political parties in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. She should ask them if our position is somehow going to ease their concern and anxiety. I do not think she gets it and I think she needs to engage more widely in terms of the perspectives of others on the European Continent. They have bitter experience of what happened to their people over many decades and centuries. The one bright spot for them was that, with the collapse of the old Soviet Union, they got access to the European Union. That is where they want to be, and they want to be secure.

In respect of peace, we want a peace settlement that is durable and sustainable in Ukraine. President Trump wants a peace settlement in Ukraine. There are different perspectives on how to arrive at that.
