Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet U.S. Envoys Jared Kushner and Jason Witkoff in Dublin on Thursday. The meeting is part of a brief visit to the Irish capital. During his stay, Zelenskyy is also expected to hold a bilateral meeting with Ireland’s Taoiseach, the country’s prime minister.
Irish police, An Garda Síochána, are preparing for a large-scale security deployment around several EU events in Dublin. The heightened security follows reports of a major security operation underway. The exact nature of the operation remains undisclosed, but authorities have confirmed increased presence in key areas of the city.
This visit marks one of the few high-level diplomatic engagements between Zelenskyy and U.S. Officials in recent months. The meetings with Kushner and Witkoff are seen as part of ongoing discussions on Ukraine’s security and international support. The timing of the visit coincides with significant EU events in Dublin, which have prompted heightened security measures across the city.
