The Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned Russia’s latest wave of airstrikes against Ukraine in the early hours of Thursday, which left at least 18 people dead, including four children.
In a statement, Athens expressed its dismay at the scale of the assault, which struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, causing severe damage to residential areas, public infrastructure, and the building housing the European Union delegation.
“We are appalled by Russia’s attack on Kyiv, killing innocent civilians and severely damaging infrastructure and diplomatic facilities, including the premises of the EU Delegation,” the ministry declared.
“We offer our sincere condolences to the families of the victims and unequivocally condemn this blatant violation of International Law. Greece stands in full solidarity with Ukraine and its people.”
Ukrainian officials described the overnight bombardment as one of the most intense in recent weeks. They reported that Russia launched 598 drones and 31 missiles in the offensive, with 45 people injured in addition to the fatalities.
The strikes are the latest in a pattern of escalating attacks targeting civilian areas and diplomatic missions, further deepening international condemnation of Moscow’s actions.
