South Dublin County Council honoured the bravery of the Ukrainian people with a minute's silence at Monday's monthly meeting and also raised the flag outside its offices, with letters also to be sent to both the Ukrainian and Russian embassies.
At the monthly meeting, Cllr Francis Timmons requested a minute's silence be observed for the victims and those fleeing the war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, council buildings lit up blue and yellow for Ukraine throughout the week.

During the meeting, three motions were proposed and ultimately passed in response to the crisis in Ukraine.
In his motion, Mayor Peter Kavanagh condemned the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces.
Speaking during the meeting, Cllr Kavanagh said: "I wish for us to resolve to show our solidarity to the Ukrainian people in the wake of their suffering at the hands of Russian armed forces, just as we would condemn and indeed do any acts of barbarism and imperialism.
"My heart bleeds for the Ukrainian people as it does for the people in Yemen, for the people affected by war in Syria, Ethiopia, all across the world."
Meanwhile, Cllr Alan Hayes in his motion asked the Council to write to the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Ireland over the decision by Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, breaching international law.
Cllr Hayes said: "Two days later after this motion was submitted Ukraine was invaded, and since then thousands are dead and literally millions are displaced."
Cllr Hayes said that while Irish people may not have the power to stop the war, they can help in other ways.
He described the war as "an unnecessary conflict" and asked members to pass the motion without a need for a vote as a show of complete solidarity.
In addition, Cllr Yvonne Collins' motion called for letters to be issued to the embassies in Ukraine and Russia.
Cllr Collins said during the meeting that Irish people must do "anything they can" to help the people in Ukraine.
She said: "The Ukrainian people I have spoken to said they were so grateful for not just the funds and supplies but also the recognition of their plight, that it can be talked about and discussed because one of the features of Putin's regime is you can't do that."
Cllr Collins described the war in Ukraine as "the worst land war since World War II" and said that the high number of casualties due to the war were "appalling."
All three motions were ultimately passed by the council.
