For me and for the First Lady Olena @ZelenskaUA, it was an honor to meet the families of Irish servicemembers who gave their lives for Ukraine, to meet and to get to know them, and to pass them awards of their children – soldiers Graham Dale, Robert Deegan, and Alex Ryzhuk – who were posthumously awarded the Orders “For Courage,” III class. My deepest condolences to their families; the price is immense, and it is an honor for Ukraine. Thank you for raising people who lived so far from Ukraine, yet gave their lives in the fight for its freedom. We are very proud of such strong people. They are true heroes. And not just for our country

  1. Gave their lives for what the believed in, the ultimate sacrifice. Brave men, glad they were honoured by the country they fought for.

  2. When I look at Zelenskyy, I think about how on the first day of the war he refused a ride out of town while Russian assassins were stalking through Kyiv looking for him. And years now of bearing these kinds of burdens.

    I’m sure he has faults – who doesn’t – but jeez is he some man.

    Sorry for the losses of these families.

  4. Is there any reason it was just those three and not more, or has he honoured others before?
