'Stop the war': Crowds protest at Russian Embassy
Several hundred people have taken part in a protest outside the Russian Embassy in Dublin, calling for an end to the invasion in Ukraine.
The event was organised by members of the Ukrainian community in Ireland, who staged a similar demonstration yesterday.
Orwell Road in Rathgar, where the embassy is located, was closed to traffic during the protest with diversions in place, after large crowds turned out.
A diplomatic car, attempting to enter the embassy, was blocked by protesters and partially draped in a Ukrainian flag.
