Sir, – In "Russian Ambassador to Ireland: I am for Ukrainians as well" (News, April 23rd), Yury Filatov is quoted as saying, "It is an information war. It is a general thing that the first casualty of the war is truth."
Surely the ambassador intended to say, “It is an information special military operation. It is a general thing that the first casualty of the special military operation is truth.” – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Russian president Vladimir Putin talks of the “liberation” of Mariupol. I believe the Russian translation should be amended to “annihilation”. – Yours, etc,
