Should Ireland provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?
On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in a major escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that began in 2014. The invasion caused Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with around 7.1 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of the population displaced. It has also caused global food shortages.

No
Ukraine has a long history of mob violence and human rights abuses. Ireland and Ukraine have had very minimal diplomatic ties prior to this war and the relationship with Ukraine solely benefits Ukraine as Ireland is neutral and won’t get a returned benefit. The only aid should be to the people through humanitarian aid and not the government where there’s been a lot of corruption and bribery.

I hope no one will ever see such a situation in their country, and since I know what happens during a war, I hope other countries will not leave more than 140 million people without protection, help, and choice.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes
@9YNFZGT2mos2MO
With Trump now in charge of America I can only fear for the worse when it comes to Russia taking over Ukraine. Ukraine needs more help than ever
@9LYGSYQ9mos9MO
Position stated, Ireland should remain neutral and not support NATOs warmongering efforts to plunge the west into another Cold War.
Ukraine would receive weapons from Ireland. A neutral country. This would completely damage irelands constitutional neutrality as they would be supporting one side of a conflict.
@9GCQLDRIndependent1yr1Y
many people will be saved, large areas from which food is supplied throughout Europe will also be in place. Russia will not stand directly next to Europe, which will protect the EU countries.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, Ukraine should rely on their own resources to defend themselves
@9ZVMKF3Independent2mos2MO
Russia took and destroyed a lot of their weapons when there were pro-Russian leaders running the country and dismantled all weaponry.
@9YM5SRV 2mos2MO
Russia is a bigger country with a bigger army. Ukraine is protecting the entire EU, hence the least we can do is help them.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Yes, but decrease the current amount of resources we are providing
Ireland, as a neutral country, should have no role in the funding of anti-Russian behaviour. As a neutral country our role is to observe in terms of military action. Ireland should, and will, count in ur sending its humanitarian aid as it is helping everyone on the ground who may be suffering.
@9LYGSYQ9mos9MO
The nation of Ireland is struggling with a housing crisis, cannot even properly house Irish people amd yet prioritise the Ukrainian asylum seekers over those homeless and struggling to find housing, paying exorbitant rent etc. There is no need to not only house Ukrainian refugees but to send money to the corrupt government of Ukraine where the aristocratic class can enjoy the profits. While the working class Ukranian is conscripted and offered up for sacrifice due to the war. All we would be funding is the death and displacement of more Ukranians by funding the war.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
No, we cannot afford to give military resources right now
@9YNFZGT2mos2MO
That’s because you idiot spent RIDICULOUS amounts of money on benches and phone pouches! Absolute joke.
@9ZFFSTP 2mos2MO
I believe that Ireland should prioritise solving issues within the country first before expanding economy and resources to Ukraine, however I’m not opposed to them providing to Ukraine
@9ZF7M5H2mos2MO
End aid immediately!!! This is an unwinable war that affects the lower and middle class globally. Zelenskyy has proven time and time again to be unreasonable and untrustworthy. We must focus on a peace deal that benefits both sides before it turns worse. Ukrainian refugees in Ireland getting free everything whilst flying back to Ukraine for Christmas holidays while the country is on its knees
@9NNSB7R8mos8MO
No, Ireland should not engage with or provide aid to any sort of conflict and become truly neutral - like Switzerland.
i don't think the country would have a enough money to fund weapons
@95B9WC62yrs2Y
Only non military support
We should provide equal aid to other countries in need as well as Ukraine
@99CNWMZ2yrs2Y
No, we should provide military aid and funding to Russia
Provide medical supplies
