Workers of the airport prepare a plane loaded with humanitarian aid at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport in Athens, on Sunday. The plane, bound for Poland, was being sent after Greece's government decided Sunday to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine defending their country against Russia's military offensive, as well as military equipment.
