Russia’s intention to deploy warships in marine exercises off the Irish coast has come under fire from Dublin, with the nation’s foreign minister arguing they are a step too far when tensions across Europe are so high.
Speaking to reporters on Monday in Brussels, Simon Coveney said he had warned the Russian ambassador that the training exercises were not “welcomed” by the Irish government. However, he acknowledged that officials “don’t have the power to prevent this happening.”
The Russian battleships will participate in live-fire sea drills that are part of a wider series of separate exercises in the Mediterranean and North Seas, and the Northeast Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. More than 140 warships and support vessels and around 10,000 troops are expected to take part.
