The Irish government has passed a bill that allows sending troops to Ukraine to protect Irish officials. This was reported on March 5 by The Irish Times newspaper.
"(The changes) are especially important from the point of view of supporting Irish citizens, it contributes to the protection of our embassies and the performance of personal protection functions abroad," the publication quotes the words of Irish Defense Minister Simon Harris.
Thus, the special forces units of the Irish Defense Forces can be used to protect the country's embassy and representative offices in Ukraine and other countries.
On March 3, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his unwillingness to put to a vote the issue of sending troops to Ukraine. Prior to that, on February 28, Izvestia reported that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe could send Ukraine has an armed peacekeeping contingent similar to the UN contingents.
