'It will be up to Ukraine to make decisions on its territory' - Taoiseach says after Trump's meeting with Putin
Briefly

Micheal Martin attended a virtual leaders' meeting supporting Ukraine, convened by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He affirmed Ireland's steadfast support for Ukraine and highlighted the necessity of long-term security guarantees. Following this meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is to meet Donald Trump alongside EU leaders in Washington. European leaders agreed on reinforcing sanctions against Russia if military aggression continues. Martin underscored the importance of international law and Ukraine's participation in discussions about its future.
I welcomed the opportunity to join other European leaders today to discuss developments on ending the war in Ukraine. We had a very useful engagement with President Zelensky as he prepares to meet with President Trump tomorrow in Washington.
I therefore welcome that President Zelensky will meet with President Trump in Washington tomorrow, together with other European leaders.
