A Meeting with John Connors—an Irish journalist, local historian, and public figure

Events / 12 November 2026

The War Museum will host a meeting with John Connors, a researcher of the Irish independence movement, author of historical works, and publicist who has consistently drawn the international community’s attention to the humanitarian consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
A central focus of his work is documenting Russian aggression and preserving testimonies of Ukrainians’ experiences. Since 2023, John Connors has made six cultural and humanitarian trips to Ukraine; he is the author of three books dedicated to the Russia-Ukraine war:
- “Mariupol. A City of Grief and Fear”;
- “The Diary of Kateryna Savenko – The Dying Days of Mariupol”;
- “The Unbreakable State Tax University of Irpin.”
John Connors supports Ukrainian refugees in Ireland and publicly opposes cuts to government aid for Ukrainians and the families hosting them.
In his hometown, he organizes educational events focused on the Russia-Ukraine war, as well as cultural events for Ukrainians who have found refuge in Ireland.
During the meeting, we will discuss the Irish researcher’s experience working on Ukrainian topics, the documentation of wartime events, humanitarian support for Ukraine, and the role of civic initiatives in fostering international solidarity.
