99. Deputy Eoin Hayes asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the details of the assistance her Department is providing to the family of a detained Ukrainian national (details supplied); the efforts being made to negotiate their release; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51082/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland is unwavering in its support for Ukraine and has consistently engaged in international fora to condemn the arbitrary detentions, unlawful deportations and forcible transfers carried out by Russia.
In individual cases, my Department provides a range of help and support to Irish citizens in distress abroad. We are unfortunately not in a position to provide consular assistance in this case as the individual is not an Irish citizen.
If the circumstances permit, contact should be made with the relevant Embassy of Ukraine to seek assistance.
