President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine reported a strike near his location in the port city of Odessa on the Black Sea. The incident occurred while he was meeting with the Greek Prime Minister, resulting in fatalities and injuries. Fortunately, President Zelensky and the Greek Prime Minister were unharmed.
The strike took place at approximately 10:40 AM Kiev time, with the exact proximity to the convoy and the intended target still under investigation. Odessa, being the largest Ukrainian seaport on the Black Sea, has been a frequent target for attacks. Just days prior, a tragic incident at a residential building claimed the lives of 12 civilians.
The fact that the strike occurred in close proximity to the meeting between President Zelensky and the Greek Prime Minister, a NATO country leader, raises significant concerns. Following the incident, both leaders appeared at a press conference unharmed. However, the number of casualties and the extent of injuries are yet to be fully confirmed by authorities.
