Micheál Martin rejected the Russian Ambassador's claim that Russia was not connected to drones spotted over Dublin Bay during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit last week. Martin characterized the incident as not just coincidental given ongoing, high-stakes discussions, including future financing for Ukraine and proposals to use frozen Russian assets to support that financing. The drone sightings coincided with diplomatic activity and highlighted tensions around external influence and the management of seized assets. Concerns about timing and intent of the incident prompted scrutiny of foreign actions in Irish airspace and calls for clarity on the drones' provenance and purpose.
