Russian Forces Attack Odesa During Zelensky and Mitsotakis Visit

It's worth noting that many statements from Russian media or government officials can be seen as elements of propaganda. Such assertions are part of the broader information warfare waged by the Russian Federation.

Dmitry Medvedev expressed his views on social media, stating, "Everything is clear. There was no attack on the convoy in Odesa. If a target had been set, it would have been struck. The real issue is the president's insignificant role, merely serving as a pawn in an anti-Russian agenda. In reality, it's inconsequential who leads what he called the neo-Nazi regime."

Medvedev further commented, somewhat regretfully, "It's bothersome, however. A shame that drones likely hit their predetermined targets. And it's unfortunate that divine intervention didn't alter the fate of the president." He concluded his post with the Latin phrase "Nullum malum sine aliquo bono!" implying that there is no evil without some good.

Odesa came under attack on Tuesday morning. At the time, not just Zelensky but also the Greek delegation led by Prime Minister Mitsotakis were in the capital of the region.

The Greek news outlet Prototema reported that the Russian assault was aimed at a convoy carrying the Greek delegation. According to the outlet, a missile is said to have struck approximately 164 yards from the delegation. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Ukrainian media have yet to confirm that the attack specifically targeted the governmental convoy.
