“I’ve done my bit, lads,” driver said after the incident in Dublin
Police in Dublin, Ireland, have arrested a man who backed a truck through the front gate of the Russian embassy. The man reportedly told onlookers that he had “done his bit” to protest Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine.
Video footage shared on social media on Monday showed the driver backing through the embassy’s gate as one onlooker cheered. According to a report in the Irish Times, the driver exited the vehicle afterwards, handed out anti-Russian leaflets, and told passersby: “I’ve done my bit lads. It’s about time the rest of Ireland done their bit.”
The man reportedly said that he wants the Russian ambassador, Yury Filatov, to “leave this country.”
The driver was then arrested, and police said they are investigating the incident as “criminal damage.”
