Russian military exercises off coast of Ireland ‘not welcome’

The EU foreign ministers aim to send a clear message to Russia to reduce tensions near Ukraine and assure the world of their intentions. They emphasize unity and warn of severe consequences if Russia invades Ukraine. Separately, Ireland has been notified of Russian military exercises off its southwest coast, which, while in international waters, are unwelcome due to current tensions.

How does the military exercise planned by Russia relate to Ireland's exclusive economic zone?

What stance has the Irish government taken regarding the increase in military activity in the context of Ukraine?
