President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and First Lady Olena Zelenska met with representatives of the UCD Centre for Emergency Medical Science (CEMS), a research and educational center within the School of Medicine at University College Dublin.

In Dublin, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, together with Taoiseach of Ireland Micheál Martin, took part in the first Irish-Ukrainian Economic Forum.

“We hold your children in the highest regard. I am very proud of them. Every time I present awards in Ukraine and see the families, the mothers and fathers, I feel this pain. And today, we want to share it with you. We are very proud of your strong people. They are heroes – all of them – true heroes. And not just for our country,” the President emphasized.

Key topics of discussion included the importance of unity, joint steps with partners to advance peace, and Ukraine’s European integration track.

During her visit to Ireland, First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska met with representatives of JIGSAW, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health.

The First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, and the wife of the Taoiseach of Ireland, Mary Martin, took part in the opening of a Ukrainian bookshelf at the Library of Trinity College – the largest university library in Ireland.

“Today, Ukraine is closer to peace than ever before. And there is a real chance. But we must seize this chance fully – the whole world, not just one or another powerful country,” the Head of State stated.
