Russian Ambassador warns Ireland faces consequences for being 'accomplice in an outright theft'

Ireland will face “inevitable” consequences for supporting the seizure of Russian funds for use in Ukraine, Moscow’s embassy in Dublin has warned.

Russia’s Ambassador to Ireland issued the warning after EU countries, including Ireland, formally adopted a plan earlier this month to seize profits from Russia’s frozen assets to fund weapons and aid for Ukraine.
