The Greek government handed over an official diplomatic protest note to Ukraine on Wednesday. The move follows the discovery of an armed naval drone in Greek territorial waters near Lefkada in May, as reported by the Kyiv Post, citing the Greek newspaper Kathimerini.
According to Greek official Lana Zochiou, the unmanned watercraft posed a serious threat to shipping and could have caused civilian casualties or significant environmental damage. The protest note stresses that shifting military operations to the Mediterranean, far from the active front line of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, endangers Greece’s national security and economic interests.
Greek authorities stated that Ukraine’s right to self-defense cannot justify such actions and called on Kyiv to refrain from similar operations in the future.
