Russia demands 'clear answer' from Irish Govt over security

Russia has written a stern letter to the Irish Government demanding a "prompt response" to a series of claims that the Government may have changed its position on post-Cold War European security arrangements.

The letter demands a "clear answer" to whether Ireland had changed its attitude to previous commitments on European security, signed over the past three decades.

The letter, seen by RTÉ News, was signed by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney.

It asserts that European countries, including Ireland, had agreed to the principle that no country could strengthen its own security at the expense of another's security.

Many thanks to everyone who for President Biden.

My Czech cousins are way to close for my comfort.

One of cousins has two grandsons in the military.
