“What is especially important for the Greek Republic is the issue of the Greek diaspora, which is numerous in Ukraine, in particular, in Mariupol, which is located near the line of contact,” he said at a press conference following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

According to Dendias, the government of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is committed to doing everything possible to protect the diaspora located there.

Undercover intelligence of the People's Militia of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic previously received information about the preparation of an offensive operation of the Ukrainian army in the Donbass.

The DPR reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing a tactical naval landing, which is planned to be used to capture a bridgehead on the Azov coast of the republic and carry out an offensive in the rear.
