Russian sportsmanship on display again: after losing to Czech player Kateřina Siniaková, Russia’s Mirra Andreeva shouted “Fuck you all!” at the crowd. The audience then booed the Russian as she exited the Indian Wells tournament as a sore loser.

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.
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.
Kyiv was hit with a huge missile and drone attack this morning.
Also this morning, another ship with 2,200 tonnes of alumina headed from Ireland to russia to build those weapons. This has to stop immediately.
In the first quarter of 2026, just 143 tonnes (0.6% of Ireland's total alumina exports) went to EU countries, with the vast majority (83%) shipped directly to Russia. It raises even more questions 👇
why the @EU_Commission has decided that, at this time, imposing sanctions on either the company or imposing trade restrictions on alumina exports to Russia would be disruptive (???) to the vital aluminium supply chain in Europe. Vital for whom or what?! Does 0.6% exported to the EU make it so vital, or is it a chain ⛓️💥 that connects it to the russian owners and interests?
The Aughinish plant was built in the 1970s as part of the aluminum giant Alcan. It was later acquired by Glencore, which in 2006 merged with Rusal and SUAL, forming one of the world’s largest aluminum producers.
In 2018, Oleg Deripaska, the billionaire Russian oligarch, was forced to surrender control of the firm that ultimately controls Aughinish Alumina.
“The reduction of Mr Deripaska's holding to a minority stake, the result of a deal with the Trump administration, is part of why the Limerick-based refinery has thus far avoided being hit by sanctions designed to penalise Russia for its war in Ukraine.
But a combination of Kremlin-connected businesses and banks control Rusal, the company that owns Aughinish, according to financial documents reviewed by @RTE_PrimeTime in the spring of 2022”, reported then @RitaOReilly.
But Prime Time @rte has also established that Mr Deripaska is a beneficiary of the war efforts. The Russian military is the top client of a number of his companies, and he owns a military hardware firm that makes armoured vehicles used by Russian forces in Ukraine.
The @EU_Commission has decided not to propose sanctions at this time on Aughinish Alumina, the Shannon-based plant owned by a Russian company, which has been accused of exporting alumina that has ended up in Russian weapons and armaments used against civilian targets in Ukraine.
In May, 39 MEPs from 12 member states wrote to the European Commission calling for a ban on alumina exports from the EU to Russia, while the Vice President of the European Parliament Pina Picierno called on the Commission to add alumina to the next sanctions package.

Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
