Ukraine’s ambassador to Ireland has said she understands the Government’s decision to cut support for people fleeing Russia’s invasion.

The Government has provided state accommodation to Ukrainians arriving in Ireland for an unlimited amount of time, and a weekly social welfare rate of 220 euro a week, since the war broke out in February 2022.
