Ireland does not intend to provide any military equipment directly to Ukraine.

The full package of military assistance for Ukraine is worth some €500 million, of which €450 million is for lethal equipment and €50 for non-lethal equipment, including items such as helmets, body armour, fuel and First Aid Kits, as specifically requested by the Ukraine Government. Ireland will pay our full share of approximately €10 million towards these non-lethal elements.

The Taoiseach also announced over the weekend that the government will provide a further €10 million in humanitarian aid, adding to the €10 million agreed last week.
