Taoiseach Micheál Martin has refuted suggestions by the Russian Embassy distancing itself from the drones seen on Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s flight path last week.

He pointed out that Russia’s ambassador to Ireland, Yury Filatov, previously vowed in 2022 that Russia would not invade Ukraine.
