Voluntary group Ukrainian Action in Ireland organised this evening’s protest and called for an end to “Russian ecocide”.
SEVERAL HUNDRED PEOPLE have taken part in a protest at the Russian Embassy in Dublin in response to the destruction of a major dam in Ukraine.
The group said “villages and cities are gone underwater, and thousands of people and animals are in danger”. “We have lived through a series of devastating and horrible events, and there are people in our group who have lost loved ones.” The Ukrainian Nature Conservation Group said the consequences for wildlife would be felt over an area of at least 5,000 square kilometres .
Russian state media has claimed that Ukraine damaged the dam by targeting it with its Olkha multiple missile launcher, citing an unnamed source.Sheridan said there’s an “anger” that some people are backing Russia’s claims and that some Ukrainians have “felt let down and hurt” because of this.
