What is known about Russia's attack on Odesa during the visit of Zelenskyy and Mitsotakis

According to the Greek publication, the motorcade of Volodymyr Zelenskyy was targeted by the Russian invaders.

In particular, the explosion occurred when the president was 150 meters away from the Greek delegation led by Mitsotakis.

The publication's sources assure that no one from the Greek delegation was injured.

There are no problems with the security of the Prime Minister and the Greek delegation, - representatives of the Greek government delegation note.

A powerful explosion in Odesa occurred shortly before the meeting between the Greek PM and the President of Ukraine. An air alert was immediately announced in the region.

We saw this blast today. You see who we are dealing with. They still have nowhere to hit. I know there were victims. I don't know the details, but I know that there are killed and injured people, said Zelenskyy.

According to him, the Russians attacked Odesa during the visit of international guests from Greece. But the Russian occupiers don't care because they've either lost their minds or they don't control their army.

Zelenskyy emphasised that such strikes indicate the need to strengthen defense. First of all, it concerns air defence.

He said that Ukraine "is getting stronger little by little, but slower than we would like."

In turn, the Prime Minister of Greece said that Russia launched a missile attack when he and Zelenskyy were in the port of Odesa.

At the end of the visit, we heard an air raid siren and heavy explosions near us. This is an impressive experience, we understand that this war affects everyone and spares no one, Mitsotakis said
