Greece joined a host of countries in “unequivocally” condemning the atrocities revealed over the weekend after Russian forces withdrew from Bucha, Ukraine.
In a statement posted online on Sunday, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs described scenes of civilian corpses lying strewn across the streets of Bucha as “horrific crimes committed during the withdrawal of the Russian occupation forces against Ukrainian unarmed civilians.”
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Greeks will be evacuated from Ukraine via Odesa, where the Greek consulate has resumed operations, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias announced during his visit to the port city in southern Ukraine on Sunday.
It will also assist in “the creation of corridors for the evacuation of Diaspora Greeks, if deemed necessary, from any part of Ukraine via Odesa,” he continued, as well as highlighting Greece’s “historic presence” in the city.
