A large amount of Ukrainians who fled the war are being accommodated in Co Clare - one of the counties with the highest concentration of people who have fled their country because of the war.
Ireland has taken in over 106,000 Ukrainians since the war began in 2022.
Ukrainians living in Lisdoonvarna have been giving their reaction to moves now to seek a solution or a ceasefire - with talks between US President Donald Trump aiming to find an immediate end to the war in his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Many are outraged at any talks taking place without representatives of Ukraine being present, and also at the prospect of some of Ukrainian territory being ceded to Russia as part of any peace solution.
They say that would be very difficult for them to accept, given the suffering and death endured by thousands of Ukrainians who have fought in the war over the past three years.
Lela Shanova and Natalina Povshenko said they all want peace and the war to end, but giving up Ukrainian territory to Russian was "not good".
Any conditions to end the war should be based on the equality of all the parties including Ukraine and Russia.
Many have family still in Ukraine and want to go home.
Iryna Honcharenko is living in Lisdoonvarna with her mother. Her father and cousins are fighting in their homeland and they have been injured, so it is very tough for them all. She is very anxious to return home and see a resolution and to see her wider family again.
Iryna wants Ukrainian people who have been displaced to be able to return to a safe and peaceful Ukraine and that their borders return to those of 2014.
Anastasia Bloshchynska works with the Ukrainian fáilte committee, she is worried if they have to give up land as part of any ceasefire or solution.
She said they would have no guarantees that Russia would not try and take further territory and they simply could not believe or trust President Putin. She also said they need proof that the EU and the US would protect them with any guarantees.
Svitlana Hladkovska, who is in Lisdoonvarna with her 15-year-old son, said she does not have a lot of hope about a future in Ukraine, especially for her son.
She said many parts of Ukraine have been destroyed and it has no economy so she does not think there is a future there - maybe in 20 years, but not in the immediate short-term.
