The Russian attack on Ukraine's infrastructure is a "war crime".

"Coir chogaidh" is ea slad na Rúiseach ar bhonneagar na hÚcráine.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that Russia's latest missile attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure are a war crime.

Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin gur coir chogaidh atá sna hionsaithe diúracán is deireanaí atá an Rúis a dhéanamh ar bhonneagar sibhialta na hÚcráine.

At least ten people have been killed and 70% of the population of Ukraine's capital, Kiev, has been left without power as a result of the attacks so far.

Maraíodh deichniúr ar a laghad agus fágadh 70 faoin gcéad de phobal phríomhchathair na hÚcráine, Cív, gan aon chumhacht aibhléise de bharr na n-ionsaithe go dtí seo.

The Taoiseach was speaking in Paris, where he had a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace.

Ag labhairt i bPáras a bhí an Taoiseach, mar a raibh cruinniú aige le hUachtarán na Fraince Emmanuel Macron i bPálás an Élysée.

Micheál Martin said that the damage that the Russians are doing in Ukraine is terrible, between the destruction that is being done to the country's essential infrastructure and the terror that is being inflicted on the community.

Dúirt Micheál Martin go bhfuil an slad atá na Rúisigh a dhéanamh san Úcráin uafásach, idir an scrios atáthar a dhéanamh ar bhonneagar riachtanach na tíre agus an sceimhle atáthar a chur ar an bpobal.

The Taoiseach confirmed again that the Irish Government is determined to help Ukraine de-identify and clear mines that have been planted in the country by the Russians.

Dhearbhaigh an Taoiseach arís go bhfuil rún ag Rialtas na hÉireann cuidiú leis an Úcráin mianaigh atá curtha sa tír ag na Rúisigh a dhí- aidhníniú agus a ghlanadh as an áit.

He indicated that the Government has already given €55 million to Ukraine and that another €25 million is to be made available shortly.

Thug sé le fios go bhfuil €55 millún tugtha ag an Rialtas don Úcráin cheana féin agus go bhfuiltear le €25 milliún eile a chur ar fáil gan mhoill.

Regarding a request for arms from a senior official in the Government of Ukraine, the Taoiseach said that the Ukrainians understand that Ireland is neutral as far as this is concerned.

Maidir le hiarratas ar airm ó oifigeach sinsearach i Rialtas na hÚcráine, dúirt an Taoiseach go dtuigeann na hÚcránaigh go bhfuil Éire neodrach chomh fada agus a bhaineann sé lena leithéid.

In any case, he said, and to be honest, we don't have many weapons.

Ar aon chuma, ar sé, agus leis an bhfírinne a dhéanamh, níl mórán arm againn.
