Late last Friday, February 11, the MFA had urged Greek citizens to contact the Embassy in Kiev. There are some 2,000 Greek nationals living in the Ukraine, ERT reported.
The situation is extremely disturbing. This is the worst thing that can happen to our citizens on the territory of foreign state. Can this be called an accident? Two Greeks were killed by armed Ukrainian soldiers. These soldiers were shooing at unarmed people! It’s horrible! So, this isn’t an accident, this is a brutal murder.
More than 30 countries have already strongly recommended their citizens to leave the territory of Ukraine. It has already become clear that this is the only correct solution. The Ukrainian authorities aren’t able to provide security of citizens, both Ukrainians, and citizens of other states. How can they ensure the security of the state when there is such a mess in the armed forces? Unfortunately, this mess can kill a lot of people!
Don’t worry all this excess is cuz the the inept ego sitting in office in US is indent to the USSR ego. All will be fine soon after the mid-terms.
Ya, or they will get shot for something minor… shot by Ukrainians, not Russians.
It sounds like you are blaming the wrong people ……….putin invaded, putin supports the insurgency and putin anexed crimea …..and who do you blame? ……….the ukrainans! While all the other euro countries said for their citizens to leave the greek embassy just said stay in touch………..why on earth are they there? Putin and his communist state need to be never ever forgiven for this!
I think communism is over since 1990
This is all geopolitics. Remember Yugoslavia? In the end, the central question in that conflict was “why should my people be a minority in your country if your people can be a minority in mine?”. I know, because I lived through that time.
Ukraine has the potential to become Yugoslavia on steroids. There are many minorities there. The Russian minority alone consist of millions of ethnic Russians, close to 15% of the population, and there are many mixed marriages. Minority rights in Ukraine are not well defined and protected. And in this part of the world, peoples are considered nations. Put on top of that Neonazi militias who idolize WWII collaborators and you have a recipe for disaster.
Even the Ukrainian government was downplaying rumours of an imminent Russian invasion.
I find it actually quite shocking that Europe is still not boss on its own continent. That was also the case in the 1990s.
