Taoiseach Witnesses Ukraine’s Human Cost | Ireland News

Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s emotional visit to Kyiv revealed the brutal reality of war as he listened to residents in Lukianivska, whose homes were shattered by relentless drone and missile strikes.

He ended with a powerful plea: the war must end now — no one should endure this suffering. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
