Russia will stage 'unwelcome' live-fire naval drills off coast of Ireland
Fox News
Russia’s plans to hold war games off Ireland’s coast in international waters are “not welcome,” Ireland’s foreign minister warned Monday as the situation in Ukraine remains unstable.
"This isn’t a time to increase military activity and tension in the context of what’s happening with and in Ukraine," Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said.
"The fact that they are choosing to do it on the western borders, if you like, of the EU, off the Irish coast, is something that in our view is simply not welcome and not wanted right now, particularly in the coming weeks," he continued.
