The Russian Embassy has dismissed as “propaganda” foreign media reports that Ireland, along with a number of other countries, is being targeted by Russia for the construction of military satellite navigation systems.

The reports – contained in a magazine linked to a US think tank – are based on anonymous sources in unnamed Western intelligence agencies.
