Can Ireland defend its trade with Russia?

AI justification

Irish trade with Russia enables military-industrial supply chains, violating peace and security norms. | The EU's diplomatic intervention to scrutinize Ireland's trade with Russia is a positive step toward upholding international sanctions and collective security. However, the ongoing export of alumina from a Russian-owned facility in Ireland undermines these efforts and risks enabling Russian military-industrial capacity, creating a net ethical tension between enforcement and compliance.
