Desmond Wisley was filmed saying “I’ve done my bit, lads” after smashing his cargo truck into the gates of Dublin’s Russian embassy.
As he received accolades from the people around him who appeared to be protesting Russia’s invasion into Ukraine, he handed out leaflets containing a heartbreaking photograph of a young family killed by a Russian strike as they were attempting to evacuate.
“I just done this to create a safe corridor for the Russian ambassador to leave Ireland,” he explained. “I want the ambassador and his colleagues to leave this country, leave this free country.”
“It’s about time we stood up,” Wisley noted. “That’s my contribution today.”
However, the police didn’t appear to appreciate the gesture as much as the protesters and had to arrest Wisley. He went willingly and even offered the officer leaflet as well. “I’ve done my bit, lads. It’s about time the rest of Ireland done their bit,” he said as he walked away.

Russia will call this a barbaric attack on its country and all it citizens. RIP Gate.

This was a true act of conscience outraged, and empathy with the dead children. Done at personal sacrifice as well, a rare and beautiful thing to witness.

“The Russian embassy is demanding that Irish authorities “take comprehensive measures” to ensure the safety of embassy staff, and says it is in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs here” – Sending them back home to Russia might achieve that.

I completely understand why he did that. I was beside myself seeing what’s going on. 💔🕯🇺🇦

They probably let him out a few blocks away and told him to go grab a pint.
