The President of Ireland has responded to a controversial letter written by his wife, stating he has always condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
A spokesperson for Michael D. Higgins told the Irish Times he's repeatedly called for an immediate Russian withdrawal and end to the violence.
However the President's office did not explain why the letter was published on the Áras an Uachtaráin website.
Sabina Higgins wrote the letter published in the Irish Times last Wednesday, calling for both countries to enter negotiations.
