The Minister for Defence says Ireland would support 'in principle' more training of Ukrainian troops in Europe.
Minister Simon Coveney is in Prague to meet his EU counterparts to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The EU Ministers will also be joined by the Foreign Ministers of Ukraine and Moldova.
Minister Coveney, says the European Union will continue to support Ukraine and put pressure on Russia:
"The focus will be on what we can do to help Ukraine, both militarily and politically, and of course, to raise the cost for Russia for continuing this aggression. I think a big, big focus, perhaps today and tomorrow will be on the potential for a CSDP machine that certainly Ireland is supportive of in principle, and we have to talk about the detail of that."
