Meanwhile, Moscow’s ambassador to Ireland has stated that his country will not hold a national championship at the Irish embassy next week following a request from the Irish government to transfer the job.

Ireland was notified last week that the game took place approximately 240km (149 miles) off the southwest coast within its financial center but not in its own area, meaning it is permitted by international law.

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the plan had not been approved, especially at a time when the United States and other Western countries feared Russia could prepare to invade Ukraine after assembling more than 100,000 troops near its borders.

Coveney said on Twitter that he had received a reply.

This week I wrote to my friend, Russia’s Defense Minister, asking for a review of the Irish navy. This evening I received a letter confirming that the Russian game would be transferred outside the EEZ of Ireland. I receive this answer.
