Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who witnessed the Russian missile attack on Odesa, said that the Kremlin will not succeed in intimidating Ukraine's partners. He said this during a speech at the press conference of the European People's Party held in Bucharest.
What Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after the Russian attack on Odesa
We should have only one message to the Kremlin: You will not intimidate us, we will continue to support Ukraine and its great citizens as long as necessary. And, of course, we will remain completely united in this decision, Mitsotakis assured.
According to him, the European Union sends a clear signal that Europe will never accept any violation of international law, territorial integrity or changing borders by force.
What is known about the Russian attack on Odesa during the visit of the Greek PM?
On March 6, the Russian Federation hit Odesa with a missile during a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Later, it became known that a Russian missile exploded 500 meters from the politicians' residence in Odesa.
"Zelenskyy often makes risky trips to the front line and has welcomed dozens of world leaders to Ukraine during more than two years of war with Russia, but Wednesday's attack could be one of the closest challenges for the president. The proximity of the strike to Mitsotakis, the leader of a NATO member state, also underscores the danger of such visits and the potential global consequences of the conflict," CNN wrote at the time.
On this day, as a result of a Russian attack on the port infrastructure of Odesa, five people died.
