Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said supplying fuel, protective gear and medical supplies to Ukraine doesn't undermine Ireland's neutrality.
Ireland is contributing to a 50 million euro fund for non-lethal supplies to be sent to Ukraine.
The Taoiseach was asked what the difference is between funding tanks and funding fuel for tanks:
"Well I think the, you can you can argue one way or the other. The bottom line is we're not funding, the tanks and so on. But we are going to contribute and Ireland's main contribution here will be in the field of medical supplies humanitarian supplies, and we certainly cannot prevent our colleagues in Europe, from responding to the call of Ukrainians to defend themselves."
