View answerOn 2 December, an Taoiseach and President Zelenskyy signed the 2030 Roadmap on Ukraine-Ireland Partnership at Government buildings.
The Roadmap, which represents a key outcome of the visit of President Zelenskyy to Ireland, builds on the bilateral Agreement on Support for Ukraine and Cooperation between Ukraine and Ireland, signed in Kyiv on 4 September 2024.
The Roadmap contains a series of commitments to develop cooperation with Ukraine, which will strengthen bilateral relations across a range of areas, including political and security cooperation; support for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction; cooperation in innovation and education; economic cooperation, including the establishment of an annual Ireland Ukraine Economic Forum; and cultural cooperation.
The Roadmap further highlights Ireland’s support for accountability mechanisms in relation to the conflict in Ukraine, and contains reference to our intention to sign the Convention establishing a Claims Commission for Ukraine, which is being established within the framework of the Council of Europe.
The Roadmap includes a commitment by Ireland to provide an additional €100 million in non-lethal military support for Ukraine, building on the figure of €100m in military support already provided in 2025. The Roadmap also contains a contribution of €25 million to support Ukraine’s energy needs.
Other areas include continuing support for Ukraine's EU accession path, including during our EU Presidency in the second half of 2026, and a commitment to share with Ukraine our experience of engagement as an EU Member State.
The Roadmap also establishes an annual Strategic Dialogue between Ireland and Ukraine at the level of Foreign Minister, the first of which was held on 2 December in Dublin.
