Ireland recently signed a 10-year bilateral security arrangement with Ukraine. Simon Harris, our “far right”-condemning Taoiseach (prime minister), signed this deal. He did so despite the fact that, as I have outlined, Ukraine has a ‘far-right’ ultra-nationalist block, which, though electorally very small, has serious political influence and state support, especially since the U.S.-backed 2014 overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych. Ukraine is also a nation which, quite tragically for the 73% of voters who elected Zelensky as president in 2019 on a promise of peace, is being militarily demolished on the battlefield.
