ATHENS:  Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said he discussed the security situation in Ukraine with his Ukrainian counterpart Rustem Umerov and Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky.

"Today I had a telephone conversation with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Alexander Syrsky, on their initiative, who briefed me on the security situation in Ukraine," the Greek minister said on X.

A Greek delegation is now visiting Ukraine. The delegation is led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis who is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Earlier, the Greek newspaper Proto Thema reported that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's motorcade, which was 150 meters away from the Greek delegation, was attacked by a drone in Odessa at noon. The newspaper later suggested that it was a missile explosion.

"We are fine," Stavros Papastavrou, a member of the Greek delegation, told the newspaper.
