On 13 August, the Embassy was proud to support a screening of ‘I Call Him by His Name’ by filmmaker Alice Doyard with Irish journalist Fergal Keane on the closing night of Filmfest Liechtenstein 2026. The film tells the harrowing story of those killed in the Bucha massacre of 2022.
Ambassador McGarry, in her opening remarks, reaffirmed Ireland’s ongoing support for Ukraine, and the central place Ukraine holds in our priorities for the Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Following the screening, Ambassador of Ukraine to Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Iryna Venediktova, and Liechtenstein’s Ambassador to the UN, Christian Wenaweser, as well as Doyard and Keane, shared their perspectives on the war, its real human impact, and on the role small countries can have in calling for aggressors to be held to account.
