"President Zelenskyy is also expected to address a sitting of the joint Houses of the Oireachtas," RTE said. [The Houses of the Oireachtas refers to Ireland's national parliament, made up of the Dáil and Seanad – ed.]

Background:

• On 1 December, Zelenskyy is on a visit to France, where a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron is set to begin very shortly (at 11:00 Kyiv time).
• American media reports, citing Ukrainian sources, indicate that Rustem Umierov, Secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, will travel to Paris to brief Zelenskyy on the results of the 30 November talks in Florida with Trump's team regarding the terms of a peace agreement to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.
