Update: Sabina Higgins, wife of PresidentIRL, has defended a personal letter she wrote to a newspaper about the war in Ukraine after public criticism of her views
Sabina Coyne Higgins has been married to Irish President Michael D Higgins since 1974
It led to President Michael D Higgins facing questions from politicians and diplomats about whether he shared his wife's opinion on the war in Ukraine.In her latest statement, the president's wife said: "I have from its outset strongly condemned the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine and I cannot be but dismayed that people would find anything unacceptable in a plea for peace and negotiations when the future of humanity is threatened by war, global warming and famine.
The contents of her correspondence to the Irish Times said she was "disappointed" and "dismayed" that an earlier editorial did not encourage any ceasefire negotiations that might lead to a positive outcome.Her intervention led to a lot of public criticism, not just from Ukrainians in Ireland but also from a Ukrainian MP, who said it was "painful" and "uninformed".
