Demonstrator crashes truck through Russian Embassy gates in Dublin as protests target Moscow’s diplomats in Western countries

A video of the incident in south Dublin shared by Irish broadcaster RTE News shows a large truck backing into the gates of the Russian Embassy as some onlookers cheer. Other videos posted on social media show the driver, who identifies himself as Desmond Wisley, handing out fliers with images of what he describes as victims of Russian forces in Ukraine, including a woman and two children.
