Ireland would be ready to enter into any peacekeeping operation in Ukraine if asked, the Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said.

Speaking in Lebanon yesterday, he said that while Ireland will be helping rebuild the war-torn country after the war is over, it would also be ready to extend the role it played with UNIFIL in Lebanon for the past 44 years.
