The Russian Ambassador to Ireland has said an Taoiseach Micheal Martin needs to acknowledge that the main cause of the global food and energy crises is down to the sanctions being enforced on Russia.
Ambassador Yuri Filatov released a statement this evening in which he calls out Mr. Martin for refusing to question “certain erroneous assumptions” about Russia.
The statement reads: "Speaking in Brussels on May 31 about the latest package of EU sanctions against Russia, Taoiseach Micheal Martin said that there was no doubt in his mind that ‘part of Putin’s strategy was to create an energy crisis and also then to create a food crisis’.
