Russians should 'rethink' plans for Victory Day rally in Dublin

Taoiseach Micheal Martin speaking at Shannon Airport said: “All of our minds should be focused on that continuing crime against humanity that is occurring in Ukraine, and there can be no equivocation about that or ambivalence about that."

Russians in Ireland should rethink their plans to hold Victory Day rallies, Micheál Martin said today.

He was asked if organisers should think twice before holding rallies on May 9. It is understood that one rally is due to be held in Dublin, being organised by the Council of Russian Compatriots of Ireland and an organisation called the Immortal Regiment of Ireland.
