Greek FM visits Odesa
Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias on Tuesday visited the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, which has become a strategic flashpoint in Russia’s invasion of the former Soviet republic, where he met with local officials and members of the Greek diaspora.
“Greece is making every effort to protect Odesa and the elements of Greece’s cultural presence from the ramifications of war,” said Dendias, who visited the Odesa National Scientific Library and the Maraslis Greek archive.
Dendias’ visit was marked by a memorandum of understanding signed between the Consulate General of Greece in Odesa and the State Archives of Odesa Region on the digitization of archives of Greek interest.
