"The Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, has rejected the Russian Ambassador's claim that his country was not connected to the drones that were spotted over Dublin Bay during the visit of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's last week."
"Mr Martin said what happened "is not just coincidental" given that "we have some serious issues on our agenda, such as the future financing of Ukraine" as well as the use of frozen Russian assets to fund it."
Micheál Martin rejected the Russian Ambassador's claim that Russia was not connected to the drones spotted over Dublin Bay during Volodymyr Zelensky's visit last week. Martin described the incident as "not just coincidental" and linked the timing to significant policy matters. He cited Ireland's consideration of future financing for Ukraine and proposals to use frozen Russian assets for that purpose. The combination of recent diplomatic activity and the sensitive financial agenda led to concerns about potential deliberate interference. The episode intensified scrutiny of Russia-Ireland relations and the security implications of aerial incursions near the capital.
