Arrow Russia will stage 'unwelcome' live-fire naval drills off coast of Ireland

Russia will stage 'unwelcome' live-fire naval drills off coast of Ireland

Drills set to take place early February as tensions mount in Ukraine

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.

"The fact that they are choosing to do it on the western borders, if you like, of the EU, off the Irish coast, is something that in our view is simply not welcome and not wanted right now, particularly in the coming weeks," he continued.

Coveney also said "we don't have a power to prevent this happening but certainly I've made it clear to the Russian ambassador in Ireland that it's not welcome."

The development comes as NATO announced its sending fighter jets and ships to eastern Europe, while the U.S. is ordering the families of embassy personnel in Ukraine to evacuate the country over concerns about a potential Russian invasion.

Personal note: Putin you don't want piss-off the Irish they can kick ass with the best.
In fact they would welcome a good knock-down battle - their blood boils even at
-32 degrees. I know the Irish they are a fun people but when they get pissed - its
to the bone - and more so if it's in or about their Country. Bad move Putin you will be
sorry! Go Irish!
