Zelensky says ‘multiple killed’ in Russia missile strike targeting his convoy

Russian troops reportedly targeted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s motorcade, with the blast occurring 150 metres away from a Greek delegation led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Zelensky said there were “multiple killed” and injured in the strike in Odesa, Ukraine, according to reports.

No members of the Greek delegation were injured in the attack, according to sources cited by the Greek edition of Protothema, as reported by European Pravda.

“There is no issue with the security of the prime minister or the Greek delegation,” official government sources said.

Greek Minister of State Stavros Papastavrou confirmed earlier in a statement to the outlet: “We are all fine.”
