Taoiseach Micheál Martin has declared that the Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian train station — which killed at least 52 civilians — has reached the threshold of “genocide”.

The Taoiseach made the comment in a tweet he issued following an official trip to Finland where war crimes by the Russian military in Ukraine and the security policy of Ireland and Finland dominated.
