Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky walked into Iveagh House on Tuesday evening with the look of a man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Inside the Department of Foreign Affairs’ grand, marble-walled salons, Zelensky and a delegation of senior Ukrainian politicians sought to sell Ukraine’s potential to a room full of Irish business chiefs at the inaugural Ireland-Ukraine Economic Forum, the last stop on Zelensky’s first state visit to Ireland.
