Russia’s plans to hold war games off Ireland’s coast in international waters are "not welcome," Ireland’s foreign minister warned Monday as the situation in Ukraine remains unstable.
The live-fire drills set to take place in early February, according to the Irish Examiner, will be staged 150 miles off Ireland’s southwest coast. That area is in international waters but within Ireland's exclusive economic zone.
"This isn’t a time to increase military activity and tension in the context of what’s happening with and in Ukraine," Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said.
