Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (21 Oct 2025)

John Lahart: In my experience as chair of the foreign affairs and trade committee, the Ukrainian ambassador to Ireland came in last week. We received a comprehensive statement.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Ukraine War (21 Oct 2025)

John Lahart: One thing this conflict has in common with what is going on in Gaza is that I cannot think of one single thing that would guarantee intergenerational conflict more than the use, abuse and the taking and maiming of children. It almost guarantees that the memory just simply cannot absolve itself of the horrors of it and that the atrocity will live on. In spite of that, the Ukrainian...
