File photograph: Tom Brenner/The New York TimesTaoiseach Leo Varadkar has spoken by telephone to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Government Buildings confirmed in a statement on Tuesday evening.

Mr Varadkar “assured Mr Zelenskiy of Ireland’s ongoing solidarity, and said Ireland is resolute in backing Ukraine’s application for EU membership,” the statement said. The Taoiseach said that the 70,000 Ukrainians that had sought refuge in Ireland were welcome, and that the Irish people were responding to their difficult situation with great generosity, his spokesman added.

Mr Varadkar promised that Ireland would “continue to provide financial and other assistance to Ukraine” and told the Ukrainian President that he was “very aware of Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and was pleased to help with equipment to repair its electricity grid” citing a large transformer sent from Ireland to Ukraine this month.

You ever notice that when Zelenskyy is interviewed, he’s always wearing a t-shirt but when his people are interviewed they are always wrapped up well but still appear freezing cold. I suspect his heating isn’t turned off.

He must be looking a few pound washed

Can he express similar solidarity with the people he is supposed to serve? The Irish people? If he remembers who they are that is
