The Dendia statement in detail.
“Due to the dramatic developments in Ukraine, I immediately convened a meeting of the Crisis Management Unit.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the measures to be taken to protect our compatriots in Ukraine, as well as the large Greek community.
Given the rapid and particularly worrying developments on the ground.
Until recently, both our Embassy in Kiev and our Consulates General in Mariupol and Odessa will continue to operate.
In order to coordinate relief efforts on the ground.
Let me remind you that Greece was one of the few countries that not only did not close their Principles, but strengthened them.
There is a plan to evacuate Greek citizens and holders of a special identity card for expatriates.
Some of our compatriots have already contacted our authorities and we have taken the necessary steps.
Of course, we are, in fact, forced to adapt this plan to the data on the ground, which are constantly changing.
At the moment we call on the Greeks who are still in Ukraine to be in constant contact with our Authorities and to avoid unnecessary travel.
Already ten days ago we had strongly discouraged Greek citizens from all travel to Ukraine and advised them to leave the country immediately.
A Special Unit was set up at the Ministry to provide assistance to both Greek citizens and their relatives.
A few weeks ago, I visited the village of Sartana, which is inhabited by our expatriates, as well as Mariupol.
I had stressed then that the Greek state, the Mitsotakis government is making every effort for the security and protection of both Greek citizens and the Greek community.
And we keep that promise.
Moment ago, [κατόπιν οδηγιών μου]the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a speech to the Russian Ambassador, the second within a few hours.
First of all, we stressed to the Russian Ambassador that our country unequivocally condemns the current Russian attack on Ukraine.
An attack, which is a blatant violation of International Law and World Values.
An attack that undermines European Peace and Security, that brings back memories of other times, which we thought had passed irrevocably.
I want to emphasize that the protection of the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of all states is a fundamental principle for Greece.
We condemn in the long run any violation of these basic principles set out in the Charter of the United Nations and call on all countries to respect these principles.
We called on the Russian side to immediately end the hostilities, which, in addition to their other serious consequences, endanger the lives of civilians, including the Greek community living in Ukraine.
Both Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is currently participating in the Extraordinary European Council, and I will continue to coordinate with our European partners and NATO Allies.
At his request, I will speak shortly with the US Ambassador, Mr Pyatt.
Next, I will meet with the Ambassador of Ukraine, Mr Shutenko, the Ambassador of Poland, Mr Lompart, the Ambassador of Estonia, Mr Rannu, the Ambassador of Latvia, Mr Jaunzems, and the Ambassador of Lithuania, Mr Vaiciuniene.
Early tomorrow morning I will meet successively the Ambassadors of France and the United Kingdom, Messrs. Maisonnave and Lodge respectively.
Finally, tomorrow at noon I will go to Brussels, in order to participate in the extraordinary Council of Foreign Affairs, the third in a week “.
