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.

Yes

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.
@9GCQLDRIndependent7mos7MO
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 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.

Yes, but decrease the current amount of resources we are providing

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.
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.

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
i don't think the country would have a enough money to fund weapons
We should provide equal aid to other countries in need as well as Ukraine
@99CNWMZ1yr1Y
No, we should provide military aid and funding to Russia
Provide medical supplies
@95B9WC62yrs2Y
Only non military support
