Taoiseach Micheal Martin
…via RTÉ News:
The Taoiseach has said about 1,800 Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Ireland so far – 486 of whom arrived yesterday.
Speaking to Newstalk, Micheál Martin said about two thirds of arrivals have connections with families in Ireland, but that number is decreasing.
He described the scenes at the Ukraine border as “horrific” and said the numbers queuing to cross the border represents the worst displacement of people since World War II.
“So this is a major humanitarian crisis on the continent of Europe, and the response to that will have to be outside of the norm,” he said.
“It can’t be business as usual in terms of how one responds to that and Government will be giving this consideration tomorrow morning at its Cabinet meeting.”

За кілька хвилин почнемо розмовляти з представниками країни, яка всерйоз вважає, що масштабне насильство над мирним населенням – це аргумент. Доведемо, що це не так. Не звертайте уваги на різні токсичні прізвища на кшталт Янукович, Бойко, Мураєв, які тягнуть по дурості росіяни. pic.twitter.com/t6tOqrHzFv

As a third round of talks between Russia and Ukraine begins, the Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak urges Russia to halt attacks on civilians.
In a tweet, he says: “In a few minutes, we will start talking to representatives of a country that seriously believes large-scale violence against civilians is an argument. Prove that this is not the case.”
