First class of promised weapons for Ukraine.
An chéad scoth de na hairm geallta don Úcráin.
At a meeting in Brussels today, the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) decided to provide Ukraine with more weapons to help them fight a battle against Russian forces in the country.
Ag cruinniú sa Bhruiséil inniu, chinn ballstáit Eagraíocht Chonradh an Atlantaigh Thuaidh (ECAT) tuilleadh arm a chur ar fáil don Úcráin le cuidiú leo cath a bhriseadh ar fhórsaí Rúiseacha sa tír.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg pointed out that the Ukrainians will be supplied with a variety of weapons, from the most modern and sophisticated to Soviet-era weapons.
Thug Ard-Rúnaí ECAT Jens Stoltenberg le fios gur cineálacha éagsúla arm a sholáthrófar do na hÚcránaigh, idir an cineál is nua-aimseartha agus is sofaisticiúla agus airm ó ré na Sóivéadach.
However, Jens Stoltenberg was unwilling to outline the specifications of the weapons or military equipment to be shipped to Ukraine.
Ní raibh Jens Stoltenberg sásta, áfach, cuntas a thabhairt ar shonraíochtaí na n-arm ná an trealaimh mhíleata atá le seoladh chun na hÚcráine.
Ahead of the meeting, Ukrainian Defense Minister Dmytro Kuleba had called on NATO to deliver weapons promptly, before the Russians would be able to reorganize themselves.
Roimh an gcruinniu, bhí iarrtha ag Aire Cosanta na hÚcráine Dmytro Kuleba ar ECAT airm a sheachadadh go pras, sula mbeadh ionú ag na Rúisigh atheagar a chur orthu féin.
The plight of the Ukrainians is to seize the opportunity for themselves, they say, to defeat the Russians as soon as they can.
An chlimirt atá ó na hÚcránaigh leis an bhfaill a dhéanamh dóibh féin, a deir siad, leis na Rúisigh a chloí a luaithe a thig leo.
Their claim list includes heavy weapons, artillery, armored vehicles, jets and land, sea and air defense systems.
Is liosta lena áireamh a bhfuil á éileamh acu, mar atá, airm throma, airtléire, feithiclí armúrtha, scairdeitleáin agus córais chosanta talaimh, mara agus aeir.
Dmytro Kuleba was questioned about a video posted on social media of a Russian soldier being killed by Ukrainian soldiers.
Ceistíodh Dmytro Kuleba faoi fhíseán a foilsíodh ar na meáin shóisialta de shaighdiúir Rúiseach á mharú ag saighdiúirí Úcránacha.
He replied that such things may happen occasionally but, he said, the Ukrainian Army (by and large) adheres to the rules of warfare.
D’fhreagair sé go mb’fhéidir go dtarlaíonn rudaí den sórt sin corruair ach, ar sé, cloíonn Arm na hÚcráine (tríd is tríd) le rialacha na cogaíochta.
However, he claimed that any report of violations of those rules by Ukrainian soldiers would be investigated.
Mar sin féin, mhaígh sé go bhfiosrófaí aon tuairisc faoi na rialacha sin a bheith sáraithe ag saighdiúirí Úcránacha.
Earlier today, G7 rich countries called for the expulsion of Russia from the UN Human Rights Council for the heinous crimes committed in Ukraine.
Níos túisce inniu, mhol tíortha saibhre an G7 an Rúis a dhíbirt as Comhairle na Náisiún Aontaithe um Chearta an Duine as los na gcoireanna gráiniúla atá déanta acu san Úcráin.
The issue was voted on in the UN General Assembly this afternoon and the resolution passed.
Caitheadh vóta ar an gceist i gComhthionól Ginearálta na Náisiún Aontaithe tráthnóna agus ritheadh an rún.
However, the Russians have denied killing civilians and claim that the pictures of corpses in the town of Bucha near Kiev are fake images.
Tá sé séanta ag na Rúisigh, áfach, gur bhásaigh siad sibhialtaigh agus maíonn siad gur íomhánna bréige atá sna pictiúr de chorpáin i mbaile Bucha in aice le Cív.
BBC reporters in Ukraine are reporting this afternoon that they have evidence that Russian soldiers fired civilians in the danger gap in the village of Obukhovychi northwest of Kiev last month.
Tá sé á thuairisciú tráthnóna ag nuachtóirí an BBC san Úcráin go bhfuil fianaise acusan gur chuir saighdiúirí na Rúise sibhialtaigh sa bhearna bhaoil i sráidbhaile Obukhovychi siar ó thuaidh ó Chív an mhí seo caite.
The Russians were reportedly held hostage by the Russians in a Russian-run school while occupied by Ukrainian troops.
Tuairiscítear gur choinnigh na Rúisigh na sráideánaigh ina ngialla i scoil a bhí ina bunáit ag na Rúisigh fad is a bhí saighdiúirí Úcránacha ag déanamh orthu aniar.
The BBC also says it has received reports of killings in the town of Ivankiv, a few miles southeast of Obukhovychi.
Deir an BBC freisin go bhfuil tuairiscí faighte acu faoi dhaoine a bheith á marú i mbaile Ivankiv, cúpla míle soir ó dheas ó Obukhovychi.
