# Statement by the Taoiseach Micheál Martin

 Published on:  24 February 2022

I utterly condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Russia’s indefensible attack on the sovereign people of Ukraine. Our first thoughts are with them. 

We will work with our EU partners and at the UN to hold President Putin and his regime accountable. 

Russia will pay a high price for this outrageous act of aggression. We stand with Ukraine.

Ends
