Russian ships off Ireland coast are 'not welcome' [View all]
Ireland has told Russia its plans to host live-fire naval exercises off the country's coast are "not welcome".
But the Irish Defence Minister said the country had no power to stop it.
It comes amid rising tensions over a build-up of Russia's military forces on the Ukraine border and threats of consequences for any invasion from the US and its allies.
Ireland, however, has a long-standing policy of military neutrality and is not part of the Nato military alliance.

Real brilliant Putin, go and piss off a few neutral countries. Guess you feel a need to show how manly you are.
