A businessman who sells religious products knocked the gates into the Russian embassy by reversing his truck over them as he urged the ambassador to “leave this country”.
Leitrim man Desmond Wisley, 49, told protesters he made the move after he saw pictures of the family killed in Irpin, Ukraine before being arrested outside the Orwell Road premises in south Dublin at around 1.30pm.
But the Russian Embassy branded the move as a “criminal act of insanity” and demanded that authorities upped security measures.
