The first official reaction to highly annoyed comments by the Russian foreign ministry’s spokeswoman against Greece’s stance vis-à-vis Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine came on Sunday evening, with the public order minister rejecting claims of an “anti-Russian information campaign” by Athens.

An air directive (notam) for the banning of Russian aircraft flights in the National Airspace of Greece, was issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), after the decision of the European Union to close its airspace to the Russian Federation.

The Greek Foreign Ministry announced that four more Greeks were killed in the villages of Sartana in Eastern Ukraine. A total of ten Greeks have lost their lives in the last 24 hours in Eastern Ukraine.
