In the Greek parliament, Nikos Papanastasis, a deputy of the Greek Communist Party (KKE), challenged the veracity of the media reports and asked whether the government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is now at war with Russia. “Nikos Papanastasis…raised reasonable questions about the strike of a Ukrainian drone on a Russian tanker, south of Crete, speaking to the Parliamentary Committee on the government bill ‘Charter for the Transition of the Armed Forces to the New Era’. He wondered if the air defence systems of the Greek Air Force saw the drone? Is this the first time that a Ukrainian drone has flown over Greek airspace? Did it return to Ukraine or did it land at a Greek airport? He noted that the government’s policy has put the country in the eye of the storm and it is not the first time. ‘We started by strengthening Ukraine with war materiel, with funding, with support of all kinds. And today we have reached the point where the war is being waged in our country,’ underlined N. Papanastasis and spoke of these very dangerous developments. ‘If Putin’s statements that the case will be investigated and whoever is responsible and has put his hand in it will pay is true, we understand where the government, the people and the country are involved,’ he added. Papanastasis stressed that the KKE has repeatedly stressed the dangers for the people from the government’s policy and the country’s attachment to the wolf alliances of NATO and the EU and added that the government’s policy has put the country in the eye of the storm.”
