2022 Russian military exercise in the Irish EEZ controversy

The 2022 Russian military exercise controversy concerns proposed military exercises in the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Ireland in international waters but within the Irish exclusive economic zone from 3 to 8 February 2022. The exercise was to involve both the Russian Navy and Russian air force. The planned exercises were later cancelled by Russia at the request of the Irish government. This event is very closely related to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and the Russo-Ukrainian crisis
