In Greece there was outrage at the loss of civilian life and the foreign minister made a vehement protest to the Russian ambassador.
The Russian embassy in Athens blamed the attack on Ukrainian forces, claiming that Russia’s “special military operations” only targeted military units and infrastructure.
