Taoiseach Micheál Martin is holding a bilateral meeting with President Zelenskyy this evening before the biggest EU Presidency event kicks off tomorrow. A second day of talks between Ukraine and Russia, mediated by the US, resumed in Abu Dhabi today, with President Zelenskyy saying he is "happy" with a change of approach.

The Ukrainian President will be attending the European Political Community summit in Dublin’s Convention Centre tomorrow, where the war will dominate discussions. Mr Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, said he will be travelling to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday before meeting President Zelenskyy in Dublin.

The US envoy said: "Steve and I are going to travel to Moscow tomorrow to meet with President Putin to go over what was discussed today and to try to make more progress on some of the issues that we discussed because we see some openings and some opportunities there." "After that we're going to fly to Dublin and we're going to be with President Zelensky to debrief with him and further explore some of the ideas that we came up with here today."

President Zelenskyy also confirmed that he will be meeting the US envoys in Dublin tomorrow. Speaking about this on social media, he added: "Ukraine's priority is to end the war as quickly as possible."""

It’s understood that discussions between the Taoiseach and President Zelenskyy will focus on Putin’s war on Ukraine and the country’s EU accession. There will be massive disruption in the capital tomorrow as the largest security operation in the history of the state is in place.

Around 5,000 people will attend the EU summit, with over 50 world leaders expected. It won’t just be European leaders that will attend the summit, with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also due to land in the country.

Other high-profile leaders include French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
