Plane Carrying Ukraine President Zelensky Departs Shannon Airport in Ireland

Zelensky met with Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on a stopover at the airport from Canada.

We saw a lot of security at a departure gate and wondered who it was for, but Gardai (Irish police) were tight lipped. My guess was Zelensky when I saw several men wearing khaki gear and heard them speak in a foreign language.

I asked one of them who the security was for and he just smiled and said “Ukraine.”

I then said “Zelensky”? And he said “yes.”

News of the meeting broke shortly after when Zelensky tweeted out a picture of people at the meeting. He was joined at the meeting by Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland Larysa Gerasko.

“At Shannon Airport, I held an unscheduled meeting with President of the Transitional Sovereign Council of Sudan Abdel Fattah al-Burhan,” Zelensky wrote on X/Twitter.

I am grateful for Sudan’s consistent support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

We discussed common security challenges, namely the activities of illegal armed groups financed by Russia.

I invited him to support the Grain From Ukraine initiative and take part in this year’s summit.

We considered possible platforms for intensifying cooperation between Ukraine and African countries.”
