But for those responsible for this conflict, we have a simple message from this House. Your actions will never be forgotten. They will never be forgiven. Thanks to the power of modern media, we have seen what you have done. You have made yourselves outcasts in the international community. You have strengthened the Ukrainian national identity. You have united Europe and the West. You have made our values shine brighter ever still.

We are a small country but we have a voice. Today we say to the world that Ireland stands with Ukraine. Our hopes, our thoughts and our prayers are with the men, women and children of Ukraine today, tomorrow and forever. We know you will prevail. Slava Ukraini.
