Zelensky pleads with Putin to come to him.

Zelensky ag achainí ar Putin teacht chun cainte leis.

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky said he would be happy to discuss all issues and reach an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine provided the two have a face-to-face meeting.

Dúirt Uachtarán na hUcráine Volodymr Zelensky go mbeadh sé sásta gach uile cheist a phlé agus dul chun socraithe le hUachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin le deireadh a chur leis an gcogadh san Úcráin ach cruinniú aghaidh ar aghaidh a bheith ag an mbeirt acu.

President Zelensky indicated that if the two leaders took a seat on the war, he himself would be willing to negotiate one of the major issues of debate between the two countries, namely, the status and poetry of Crimea and Donbass.

Thug an tUachtarán Zelensky le fios dá ndéanfadh an bheirt cheannairí suíochán ar an gcogadh go mbeadh sé féin sásta ceann de na mórúdair imris idir an dá thír a chaibidil, mar atá, stádas agus dán na Crimé agus Donbass.

Both regions are officially part of Ukraine but Crimea has been occupied by the Russians and Donbass under Russian loyalist rule for eight years.

Go hoifigiúil, is cuid den Úcráin an dá réigiún sin ach tá an Chrimé ina seilbh ag na Rúisigh agus Donbass faoi riail dhílseoirí Rúiseacha le hocht mbliana.

Not all issues would be resolved in a meeting but any kind of peace would be better than no peace at all, Volodymr Zelensky said.

Ní réiteofaí gach aon cheist i gcruinniú ach b'fhearr aon saghas síochána ná a bheith gan síocháin ar bith, a dúirt Volodymr Zelensky.

He said after believing that Crimea and Donbass must be returned to Ukraine as part of any permanent settlement that a national referendum could be held on the issue.

Dúirt sé tar éis go gcreideann sé go gcaithfí an Chrimé agus Donbass a thabhairt ar ais don Úcráin mar chuid d'aon socrú buan go bhféadfaí reifreann náisiúnta a reáchtáil ar an gceist.

The people of Ukraine are acutely aware, he said, that the country may not be a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) but, conversely, may not hand over their cities and towns to the Russians.

Tuigeann muintir na hÚcráine go rímhaith, ar sé, nach bhféadfaidh an tír a bheith ina ball d'Eagraíocht Chonradh an Atlantaigh Thuaidh (ECAT) ach, os a choinne sin, nach bhféadfaidh siad a gcuid cathracha agus bailte móra a thabhairt ar láimh do na Rúisigh.

Ukrainians would find it easier to accept the destruction of their country than Russian rule, he said.

B'fhusa le hÚcránaigh glacadh le scrios a dtíre ná le riail na Rúiseach, a dúirt sé.

Zelensky also called on the Chinese government to take charge and participate in efforts to end the war.

D'achainigh Zelensky chomh maith ar Rialtas na Síne an cúram a ghabháil orthu féin agus páirt a ghlacadh in iarrachtaí deireadh a chur leis an gcogadh.

In the meantime, however, there is no stop or resemblance to the war and a curfew has been imposed in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, in the wake of the artillery attack by the Russian Army on a residential and shopping area there.

Idir dhá linn, ámh, níl aon stad ná cosúlacht stad leis an gcogaíocht agus tá cuirfiú curtha i gcion i bpríomhchathair na hÚcráine, Cív, i bhfianaise an ionsaí airtiléire a rinne Arm na Rúise ar cheantar cónaithe agus siopadóireachta ansin.

US President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin is considering putting chemical and biological weapons to work against the Ukrainian people.

Dúirt Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Joe Biden go bhfuil Vladimir Putin ag cuimhneamh ar airm cheimiceacha agus bhitheolaíocha a chur ag obair i gcoinne mhuintir na hÚcráine.

Man arrested for killing Sandra Boyd in Finglas.

Fear gafa faoi mharú Sandra Boyd i bhFionnghlas.

Gardaí have arrested a man in connection with the murder of a woman in Dublin last night.

Tá fear gafa ag na Gardaí maidir le dúnmharú mná a lámhachadh i mBaile Átha Cliath arú aréir.

Sandra Boyd, 36, was killed at her family's home in Collins Place in East Finglas.

I dteach a muintire i bPlás Uí Choileáin i bhFionnghlas Thoir a maraíodh Sandra Boyd, a bhí 36 bliain d'aois.

She was shot with a pistol in the chest at the back of the house at about 8.40pm on Saturday.

Lámhachadh le piostal sa chliabhrach í i gcúl an tí ag thart ar 8.40 oíche Dé Sathairn.

She was immediately taken to the Mater Hospital but was confirmed missing shortly afterwards.

Tugadh go hOspidéal an Mater í ar an mball ach deimhníodh go gairid ina dhiaidh sin go raibh sí caillte.

Gardaí found a gun in the house but are still unsure as to exactly why Sandra Boyd was shot.

Fuair na Gardaí gunna sa teach ach níl siad cinnte fós cén fáth ná cén chaoi go baileach ar lámhachadh Sandra Boyd.

There were several people in the house at the time but the Gardaí were looking for a particular man more than anyone else in connection with the incident.

Bhí roinnt daoine sa teach ag an am ach bhí na Gardaí sa tóir ar fhear faoi leith thar aon duine eile maidir leis an eachtra.

This guy and Sandra Boyd knew each other.

Bhí aithne ag an bhfear seo agus Sandra Boyd ar a chéile.

The man who was picked up by the Gardaí this morning is in his late twenties and is being questioned at Finglas Garda Station.

Tá an fear a thóg na Gardaí ar maidin sna fichidí déanacha agus tá sé á cheistiú i Stáisiún Ghardaí Fhionnghlaise.

It can be kept for up to seven days.

Is féidir é a choinneáil ar feadh suas le seacht lá.

Gardaí are investigating whether the killing of Sandra Boyd was linked to another shooting that took place near her family home last Tuesday.

Tá na Gardaí ag fiosrú an raibh baint ag marú Sandra Boyd le heachtra lámhaigh eile a tharla gar do theach a muintire Dé Máirt seo caite.

Ukraine: cruise missiles fired at Lviv airport.

An Úcráin: diúracáin chúrsála scaoilte le haerfort Lviv.

Russian forces reportedly fired cruise missiles at the airport district of Lviv city in western Ukraine this morning.

Tuairiscítear gur scaoil fórsaí Rúiseacha diúracáin chúrsála le ceantar an aefoirt i gcathair Lviv in iarthar na hÚcráine ar maidin.

The Ukrainian air force said six missiles had been fired into the area from a Russian base in the Black Sea but two had been fired before reaching a target.

Thug aerfhórsa na hÚcráine le fios gur scaoileadh sé cinn de dhiúracáin leis an gceantar ó bhunáit Rúiseach sa Mhuir Dhubh ach gur cuireadh péire acu ó mhaith sular bhain said sprioc amach.

The type of missile involved has a range of 2,500 kilometers.

Tá raon 2,500 ciliméadar ag an gcineál diúracáin a bhí i gceist.

The mayor of Lviv said the missiles hit an aircraft repair center but no damage was done to the airport itself.

Dúirt méara Lviv gur bhuail na diúracáin ionad deisiúcháin eitleán ach nach ndearnadh aon damáiste don aerfort féin.

He claimed no one was injured as the repair center is no longer operational.

Mhaígh sé nár gortaíodh aon duine mar nach bhfuil an t-ionad deisiúcháin ag feidhmiú níos mó.

Lviv is only 90 kilometers from the Polish border.

Níl ach 90 ciliméadar idir Lviv agus teorainn na Polainne.

Informants in Western countries say the Russians are now relying on airstrikes to achieve their military objectives as their infantry are failing to push forward and take possession of major cities in Ukraine.

Dar le lucht faisnéise i dtíortha an Iarthair go bhfuil na Rúisigh ag brath anois ar ionsaithe aeir lena gcuspóirí míleata a bhaint amach mar nach bhfuil ag éirí lena gcuid saighdiúirí coise brú chun tosaigh agus seilbh a ghabháil ar bhailte móra san Úcráin.

However, the United Nations says 780 civilians have been killed and 1,252 injured since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24.

Mar sin féin, deir na Náisiúin Aontaithe gur maraíodh 780 sibhialtach agus gur gortaíodh 1,252 ó rinne an Rúis ionradh ar an Úcráin ar an 24 Feabhra.

It was confirmed today that Australia and Japan have imposed further sanctions on the Russians, but the focus of the world is on China and the intention of its president Xi Jinping.

Deimhníodh inniu go bhfuil tuilleadh smachtbhannaí curtha ag an Astráil agus an tSeapáin ar na Rúisigh, ach is ar an tSín agus a bhfuil ar intinn ag uachtarán na tíre sin Xi Jinping atá aird an domhain.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for military assistance from the Chinese but Americans are trying to persuade them to reject his petition.

Tá cúnamh mílteata iarrtha ag Uachtarán na Rúise Vladimir Putin ar na Sínigh ach tá na Meiriceánaigh ag féachaint le cur ina luí gaidhte orthu diúltú dá achainí.

It seems, however, that the Chinese are still trying to keep their powder dry.

Dealraíonn sé, áfach, go bhfuil na Sínigh ag iarraidh a bpúdar a choinneáil tirim go fóill.

They say that while acknowledging the sovereignty of Ukraine, they also understand Vladimir Putin's concern about the assertion he claims Western countries are making of Russia.

Deir siad cé go n-aithníonn siad flathas na hÚcráine go dtuigeann siad chomh maith an imní atá ar Vladimir Putin faoin gcúngach a mhaíonn sé atá tíortha an Iarthair a dhéanamh ar an Rúis.

US President Joe Biden is due to speak to Xi Jinping by phone later today to discuss the situation.

Tá Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Joe Biden le labhairt le Xi Jinping ar an teileafón níos deireanaí inniu leis an scéal a phlé.

Further support d

Tuilleadh tacaíochta d'Arm na hÚcráine le plé ag Coveney.

Foreign Minister Simon Coveney is due to visit Poland today, where he will meet with politicians and relief workers supplying refugees from Ukraine.

Tá an tAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha Simon Coveney le cuairt a thabhairt ar an bPolainn inniu, mar a mbuailfidh sé le polaiteoirí agus oibrithe fóirithinte atá ag soláthar do theifigh as an Úcráin.

Minister Coveney has indicated that the Irish Government is seeking to build on existing humanitarian and political support for the people of Ukraine.

Thug an tAire Coveney le fios go bhfuil Rialtas na hÉireann ag iarraidh cur leis an tacaíocht atáthar a chur ar fáil cheana féin do mhuintir na hÚcráine ó thaobh cúrsaí daonnachta agus polaitíochta araon de.

He said in fact that Irish troops could be sent to Poland to provide logistical support to Ukrainian refugees currently settling in that country.

Dúirt sé go deimhin go bhféadfaí saighdiúirí Éireannacha a chur chun na Polainne le tacaíocht lóistíochta a thabhairt do theifigh as an Úcráin atá ag cur fúthu sa tír sin faoi láthair.

He also intends, he said, to discuss the issue of sanctions with Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau.

Tá rún aige chomh maith, ar sé, ceist na smachtbhannaí a phlé le hAire Gnóthaí Eachtracha na Polainne Zbigniew Rau.

Further support for the Ukrainian Army through the European Peace Facility - a European Union instrument - is another of the major issues he and the Polish Minister will be discussing, said Simon Coveney.

Tuilleadh tacaíochta a thabhairt d'Arm na hÚcráine trí Áis Síochána na hEorpa - ionstraim de chuid an Aontais Eorpaigh - ceann eile de na mórcheisteanna a bheas á chaibidil aige féin agus Aire na Polainne, a dúirt Simon Coveney.

The European Peace Facility is a peace and security program, according to the European Union.

Clár síochánaíochta agus slándála atá in Áis Síochána na hEorpa, de réir an Aontais Eorpaigh.

Minister Coveney said that the Union must divide Ukraine's refugees fairly between all member states and praised the Polish people for their outstanding refugee festival to date.

Dúirt an tAire Coveney go gcaithfidh an tAontas teifigh as Úcráin a roinnt go cothrom idir na ballstáit uile agus mhol sé go hard muinitir na Polainne as a bhféile thar cuimse i leith na ndídeanaithe go dtí seo.

He estimates that 21,000 refugees will arrive in Ireland in a few weeks' time and that more could follow if the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine worsens.

Measann sé, a mhaígh sé, go mbeidh 21,000 teifeach tagtha go hÉirinn faoi cheann cúpla seachtain agus go bhféadfadh tuilleadh fós teacht ina dhiaidh sin má théann an ghéarchéim daonnachta san Úcráin in olcas.

"1,000 people trapped in theatrical debris in Mariupol".

"1,000 duine sáinnithe i smionagar amharclainne i Mariupol".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says more than a thousand people are trapped in theatrical debris in the city of Mariupol, some of which was flattened by Russian bombing attacks yesterday.

Deir Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky go bhfuil os cionn míle duine sáinnnithe i smionagar amharclainne i gcathair Mariupol ar leacaíodh cuid di nuair a rinne fórsaí Rúiseacha ionsaí buamála uirthi arú inné.

Rescuers reportedly boarded 130 people from being pulled out of the wreckage alive, but there is no indication or description of the majority of people - women and children - who were sheltered in the theater.

Tuairiscítear bordáil le 130 duine a bheith tarraingthe amach as an smionagar ina mbeatha ag lucht tarrthála, ach níl tásc ná tuairisc ar bhunáite na ndaoine - mná agus leanaí - a bhí ar foscadh san amharclann.

The refugees were in the basement of the house when the place was blown up, and rescuers are on their toes digging up the piles and rubble that have accumulated on top of them.

In íoslach an tí a bhí na dídeanaithe nuair a séideadh an áit, agus tá lucht tarrthála ar a mbionda ag cartadh na gcaideanna agus na spallaí atá carntha sa mhullach orthu.

The Russians denied that they had not bombed the theater and claimed that they do not attack civilians.

Shéan na Rúisigh nár bhuamáil siad an amharclann agus mhaígh nach n-ionsaíonn siad sibhialtaigh.

The bombing is more intense and the crisis in Mariupol more intense than any other member of Ukraine since Russia invaded the country over three weeks ago.

Is déine an bombardú agus is géire an ghéarchéim i Mariupol ná aon bhall eile den Úcráin ó rinne an Rúis ionradh ar an tír os cionn trí seachtaine ó shin.

The people of the city have been under severe siege by the Russian Army from almost the beginning, and are threatened with famine and disease for lack of supply.

Tá muintir na cathrach faoi dhianléigear ag Arm na Rúise ón tús beagnach, agus tá gorta agus galar ag bagairt orthu de cheal riar a gcáis.

Food and water citizens cannot make good ground and the current state of life in the city.

Bia agus uisce ní féidir le saoránaigh talamh slán a dhéanamh díobh agus suíomh an tsaoil sa chathair mar atá.

"Russians inhabited by a well-organized Ukrainian crowd".

"Rúisigh curtha ina gcónaí ag slua dea-eagair na hÚcráine".

Western intelligence services claim that Russian military forces are continuing to bomb cities and kill people in Ukraine that they are not advancing as they should.

Tá sé á mhaíomh ag seirbhísí faisnéise thíortha an Iarthair siúd is go bhfuil fórsaí míleata na Rúise ag leanacht orthu ag tuairgneáil bailte móra agus ag marú daoine san Úcráin nach bhfuil siad ag dul chun tosaigh mar ba mhian leo.

Informants say the Russians have been undergoing a truly slow movement since they launched a quadrilateral attack on Ukraine three weeks ago.

Deir lucht faisnéise gur gluaiseacht fíormhall atá faoi na Rúisigh ó rinne siad ionsaí ceithrebheannach ar an Úcráin trí seachtaine ó shin.

They consider the Ukrainian forces to be a well - organized mob to oppose the enemy, to maintain the battle, and are unlikely to surrender any day.

Dar leo gur slua dea-eagair iad na fórsaí Úcránacha atá ag cur in aghaidh an namhad, go bhfuil siad ag cothú an chatha agus nach cosúil go ngéillfidh siad lá ar bith feasta.

The Ukrainian capital, Kiev, remains a stronghold of the Ukrainians after parts of it were constantly and vigorously bombarded and left in ruins by the Russians.

Tá an phríomhchathair Cív fós ina dún daingean ag na hÚcránaigh i ndiaidh go bhfuil codanna di á mbombardú go seasta agus go tréan agus fágtha ina mionspruáin ag na Rúsigh.

The humanitarian crisis in the southeastern city of Mariupol, where the public is under severe siege by the Russian Army, is more severe than in any other member of Ukraine.

Is géire ná in aon bhall eile den Úcráin an ghéarchéim daonnachta i gcathair Mariupol in oirdheisceart na tíre, mar a bhfuil an pobal faoi dhianléiger ag Arm na Rúise.

The Russians reportedly fired artillery at a theater in the city where women and children were sheltered and most of it was destroyed.

Tuairiscítear gur scaoil na Rúisigh airtléire le hamharclann sa chathair mar a raibh mná agus leanaí ar foscadh agus gur scriosadh an chuid is mó di.

Fortunately, a city mayor's spokesman said, the room or rooms where the people were sheltered stood despite the bombing.

Ar ámharaí an tsaoil, a dúirt urlabhraí mhéara na cathrach, sheas an seomra nó na seomraí ina raibh na daoine ar foscadh ainneoin na buamála.

However, some people were said to have been injured or killed.

Mar sin féin, dúradh gur donaíodh nó gur maraíodh roinnt daoine.

The Russians denied that they had not released the theater.

Shéan na Rúisigh nár scaoil siad leis an amharclann.

In northern Ukraine, 53 civilians are reported to have been killed in the city of Chernihiv in twenty - four hours.

I dtuaisceart na hÚcráine, tuairiscítear gur maraíodh 53 sibhialtach i gcathair Chernihiv le ceithre huaire fichead.

More than three million people have fled Ukraine and the number of casualties - both civilians and soldiers - since the start of the war has not been counted.

Tá os cionn trí mhilliún duine teite as an Úcráin agus níl aon áireamh beacht ar an méid atá maraithe - idir shibhialtaigh agus shaighdiúirí - ó thús na cogaíochta.

However, it is claimed that progress has been made in peace talks between the two sides.

Ar a shon sin, maítear go bhfuil dul chun cinn déanta i gcainteanna síochána idir an dá thaobh.

Humanitarian, military and political issues are being sifted through the talks, it is said.

Ceisteanna daonnachta, míleata agus polaitiúla atá á gcriathrú sna cainteanna, a deirtear.

As with politics, there is talk of Ukraine's future neutral status, as do Austria and Sweden.

The body of the Irishman killed in Ukraine to be taken home.

Corp an Éireannaigh a maraíodh san Úcráin le tabhairt abhaile.

His brothers have paid tribute to Irish cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski who was killed in Ukraine yesterday.

Tá ómós tugtha ag a dheartháireacha don cheamradóir Éireannach Pierre Zakrzewski a maraíodh san Úcráin arú inné.

The Dubliner and his colleague, Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova, were killed when their car was released in the Horenka area near Kiev.

Maraíodh an Baile Átha Cliathach agus a chomhghleacaí, an t-iriseoir Úcránach Oleksandra Kuvshynova, nuair a scaoileadh lena ngluaisteán i gceantar Horenka in aice le Cív.

Their colleague, journalist Benjamin Hall, was seriously injured.

Gortaíodh go dona comhghleacaí leo, an t-iriseoir Benjamin Hall.

All three worked for Fox News.

Bhí an triúr ag obair do Fox News.

One of Pierre's brothers, Nick Zakrzewski, has confirmed that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Fox News are working together to bring his body home to Ireland.

Dhearbhaigh Nick Zakrzewski, duine de dheartháireacha Pierre, go bhfuil an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha agus Fox News ag obair i gcomhar le chéile lena chorp a thabhairt abhaile go hÉirinn.

Speaking on RTÉ, he pointed out that Pierre's favorite pastimes were travel, photography and videography.

Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, thug sé le fios gur taisteal, grianghrafadóireacht agus físeagrafaíocht na rudaí ab ansa le Pierre.

He said he was a brave man but not a fool.

Dúirt sé gur fear cróga a bhí ann ach nach raibh sé baothdhána.

Pierre wanted to be remembered for the images he created and provided, says Nick Zakrzewski.

Ba mhian le Pierre go gcuimhneofaí air as na híomhánna a chruthaigh sé agus a chuir sé ar fáil, arsa Nick Zakrzewski.

Without them, he said, people would not know what was going on in the members where he worked.

Murach iad, a dúirt sé, ní bheadh a fhios ag daoine céard a bhí ar siúl sna baill ina raibh sé ag obair.

Until recently, Greg Zakrzewski pointed out that his brother was a freelance journalist.

Thug Greg Zakrzewski le fios gur saoririseoir a bhí ina dheartháir go dtí le deireanas.

He said Pierre went to work for Fox News because he believed he would have better protection in dangerous places if he had organizational support.

Dúirt sé go ndeachaigh Pierre ag obair do Fox News mar gur chreid sé gurbh fhearr an chosaint a bheadh aige in áiteanna contúirteacha dá mbeadh tacaíocht eagraíochta aige.

Greg Zakrzewski also said that Pierre was between two councils about going to work for that organization because he was worried that he would lose some of his independence.

Dúirt Greg Zakrzewski chomh maith go raibh Pierre idir dhá chomhairle faoi dhul ag obair don eagraíocht sin mar go raibh imní air go gcaillfeadh sé cuid dá neamhspleáchas.

97 children, Irish citizen killed in Ukraine.

97 leanbh, saoránach Éireannach maraithe san Úcráin.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that 97 children have been killed as a result of the war since Russia invaded his country on February 24.

Dúirt Uachtarán na hÚcráine Volodymyr Zelensky go n-áirítear 97 leanbh a bheith maraithe de bharr na cogaíochta ó rinne an Rúis ionradh ar a thír ar an 24 Feabhra.

Speaking to Canadian politicians on a video link today, Volodymyr Zelensky drew particular attention to the suffering of the people of the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

Agus é ag labhairt le polaiteoirí Cheanada ar nasc físe inniu, tharraing Volodymyr Zelensky aird go háirithe ar fhulaingt mhuintir chathair Mariupol in oirdheisceart na hÚcráine.

He suggested that people in Mariupol are on the verge of starvation and that their call for relief is now a meaningless scourge for lack of communication with the world.

Thug sé le tuiscint go bhfuil daoine i Mariupol ar an dé deiridh nach mór d'uireasa bia agus go bhfuil a nglao ar fhóirithint ina shiosarnach gan bhrí anois d'uireasa ceangail chumarsáide leis an saol mór.

It was also confirmed today that an Irish citizen was killed near the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, yesterday.

Deimhníodh inniu chomh maith gur maraíodh saoránach Éireannach in aice le príomhchathair na hÚcráine, Cív, inné.

That's the journalist and cameraman with Fox News, Pierre Zakrzewski, who was killed when the vehicle in which he and his colleagues were traveling was attacked.

Sin é an t-iriseoir agus an ceamradóir le Fox News, Pierre Zakrzewski, a maraíodh nuair a ionsaíodh an fheithicil ina raibh sé féin agus comghleacaithe leis ag taisteal.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin condemned the killing and said he was shocked and saddened by the news.

Cháin an Taoiseach Micheál Martin an marú agus dúirt gur chuir an scéal alltacht agus brón air.

The Russian Army reportedly fired more rockets at Kiev today and killed at least four when one of them hit an apartment block and set it on fire.

Tuairiscítear gur scaoil Arm na Rúise tuilleadh roicéad le Cív inniu agus gur maraíodh ceathrar ar a laghad nuair a bhuail ceann acu bloc árasán agus chuir trí thine é.

Another apartment block is said to have been hit as well.

Deirtear gur buaileadh bloc árasán eile chomh maith.

In Russia, a TV news editor was brought before a court in Moscow for protesting live on air against the invasion of Ukraine.

Sa Rúis, tugadh eagarthóir nuachta teilifíse os comhair cúirte i Moscó faoi agóid a dhéanamh beo ar an aer in aghaidh an ionraidh ar an Úcráin.

Marina Ovsyannikova is said to have been sentenced to ten days in prison for broadcasting a protest on one of Russia 's most watched news programs.

Deirtear go bhféadfaí príosún deich lá a ghearradh ar Marina Ovsyannikova de bharr a hagóide a craoladh ar cheann de na cláir nuachta is mó féachana sa Rúis.

Anti-war protest in Russia.

Agóid frith-chogaidh ar bun sa Rúis.

One of the news programs on the Russian television station, 'TV ChannelOne', was interrupted by a protest by anti - war activists in Ukraine.

Cuireadh isteach ar cheann de na cláracha nuachta ar an stáisiún teilifíse Rúiseach,'TV ChannelOne' a bhuíochas d'agóid a bhí ar bun ag dream atá in aghaidh na cogaíochta san Úcráin.

A sign they had hung up and written in English and Russian said that such a war should not take place, that it should be stopped.

Dúradh ar chomhartha a bhí crochta in airde acu agus scríofa i mBéarla agus i Rúisis nár cheart a léithid de chogadh a bheith ann,gur cheart é a stopadh.

The Russian public has also been told not to give in to what they say is Russian 'propaganda'.

Iarradh freisin ar phobal na Rúise gan géilleadh do 'bholscaireacht' na Rúise mar a deir siad.

Protesters said the Kremlin government was clearly 'telling lies to the public' about this war.

Dúirt an lucht agóide gur léir go bhfuil an Rialtas sa Kremlin 'ag insint bhréaga don phobal' maidir leis an chogadh seo.

This afternoon, the Prime Minister of Russia signed a decree on any export of white and crude sugar from now until 31 August.

Tráthnóna inniu, shínigh Príomh-Aire na Rúise foraithne ar aon easportáil de shiúcra bán agus amh-shiúcra as seo go dtí an 31ú Lúnasa.

€ 125 fuel allowance payable this week.

Liúntas breosla €125 le híoc an tseachtain seo.

The one - off fuel allowance of € 125 is due this week to those who deserve it.

Tá an liúntas breosla aon uaire de €125 le híoc an tseachtain seo leo siúd a bhfuil sé ag dul dóibh.

The Government announced this policy last month as part of its plan to tackle rising cost of living.

D'fhógair an Rialtas an beartas seo an mhí seo caite mar chuid dá phlean chun dul i ngleis leis an ardú sa chostas maireachtála.

This compensation package is worth € 500m to some families who would be in short supply and largely dependent on social welfare payments.

Is fiú €500m an pacáiste cúitimh seo do theaghlaigh áirithe a bheadh ar an ngannchuid agus ag brath ar íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh den chuid is mó.

The rate of inflation has not been as high as it is now 21 years and the Government is now under a lot of pressure to do something about it.

Ní raibh an ráta boilscithe chomh hard le 21 bliain is atá sé faoi láthair agus tá cuid mhór brú ag teacht ar an Rialtas anois rud éigin a dhéanamh faoi.

The recent rise in the price of fuel has contributed significantly to this rate.

Tá an t- ardú sa phraghas atá tagtha ar bhreosla le tamall ag cur go mór leis an ráta sin.

The war in Ukraine is no help either.

Ní haon chabhair ach an oiread an cogadh san Úcráin.

Thanks to that, the people of the country were informed yesterday that the cost of a bag of coal is set to rise by € 7 in the coming weeks.

A bhuíochas dó sin, tugadh le fios do phobal na tíre arú inné go bhfuil an costas ar mhála guail le n-ardú €7 sna seachtainí atá romhainn.

The cost of coal has risen by almost 50% in the last 8 months.

Tá costas guail imithe in airde beagnach 50 faoin gcéad le 8 mí anuas.

The charity ALONE has called on the Government to take good action to address this.

Tá iarrtha ag an gcumann carthanachta ALONE ar an Rialtas beart fónta a dhéanamh chun dul i ngleic leis seo.
