@Alan_H_73@Bravojohnny23@rtenews Yup, proper!
I hate the fascist scum!
I witnessed guys with the exact same life as me (Ukrainian software devs), not believe Putler would invade, weeks later they had willingly joined the army. Could be dead or in a trench now.
That is what Russia does to normal guys
NAFO news 2027
@LauraLoomer apologises and donates for a #NAFO fella
The NAFO diplomatic corps announce their representatives for the first round of talks for the division of moscow between the allies.
In case you ever doubted the power of #NAFO: this guy⬇️ started the #Ireland#alumina investigation.
Thank you, @realLangerDan!
Also other NAFO heroes pointed the scandal out.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦. Let's build a strong and free Europe 🇪🇺!
Norway is mulling its relationship with the EU due to growing global instability.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told the Financial Times that the "benign world" that existed when Norway twice voted against joining the EU no longer exists.

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.
There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.
The wildest thing about Ireland doing this for Russia is that it hasn’t even exempted them from Moscow’s crosshairs. Russian submarines still turn up off Irish ports, interfere with undersea cables Ireland relies on, skirt Irish airspace with nuclear bombers…

The Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland expresses its serious concern regarding the continued export of alumina from Ireland to the Russian Federation.
According to a trade data, this troubling trade flow has increased significantly, with exports rising from €196 million in 2021 to €318 million in 2025, positioning the Russian Federation as the largest destination for Irish alumina exports and surpassing traditional European partners. This represents the highest level of exports to Russia since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
These figures raise serious concerns, as alumina remains a critical raw material for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex. Aluminium is used in the manufacture of a wide range of Russian military systems, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Shahed-136/Geran-2 attacks unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The devastating consequences of Russia’s military production continue to be felt daily by the people of Ukraine. Over the past week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 2,900 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and more than 150 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and communities. Every activity may contribute to sustaining Russia’s industrial and military capacity warrants careful examination.
The Embassy takes note of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the relevant Irish authorities and welcomes the Irish Government’s commitment to establishing all relevant facts. We look forward to the timely conclusion of this process and to any measures deemed necessary on the basis of its findings.
Ukraine fully recognises the importance of protecting jobs, communities, and industrial competitiveness in Ireland and across the European Union. At the same time, Russia’s continued war of aggression requires constant vigilance to ensure that commercial activities do not directly or indirectly contribute to sustaining the military capabilities of a state engaged in a brutal and unprovoked war against a sovereign European nation.
Ukraine highly values its strong partnership with Ireland and deeply appreciates the steadfast support and solidarity demonstrated by the Irish Government and the Irish people since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We count on Ireland’s continued leadership in supporting Ukraine, strengthening the effectiveness of international sanctions, and ensuring that European resources, technologies, and supply chains cannot be exploited to sustain Russia’s war machine.
The Embassy of Ukraine remains committed to constructive engagement with Irish partners on this important issue in the shared interests of European security, international law, and accountability.
The problem now for @peterburkefg is that he's casting doubt on whether @CSOIreland can be trusted. Which is highly problematic politically for a senior government minister to be casting doubt on the accuracy of our national statistics office.
Irish exports to Russia have risen significantly since 2022, reaching €830 million last year. The single biggest commodity group in 2025 was 'metalliferous ores and metal scrap', valued at €316 million.
These are @CSOIreland figures, and it's important to note that companies share such data confidently, for reasons of obvious commercial sensitivity. Statisticians aggregate the data from all company submissions and publish only aggregated totals.
@KitMurray@MichealMartinTD@PresidentIRL Ah the gas factory defence 😡 shame on you 🫵
Once upon a time in Germany a gas factory used the same excuses.
Russia daily uses alumina to terrify millions of people.
Long look in the mirror time 🫵
Our government is going to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to do the right thing #Alumina21@MichealMartinTD
Where are our vatnik, anti war, humanitarian, left now?
@PresidentIRL#Alumina21 is easier than a flotilla 🫵🙄
@CaolanReports Have you ever looked into the absolutely massive Russian embassy compound in Dublin?
13 buildings, 3 of which look like apartment buildings and what looks like construction/curiously deep excavation underway for a 14th.
