A biministerial meeting was held earlier today at the Greek Foreign Ministry under Minister Nikos Kotzias, regarding the deteriorating situation in Ukraine and the safety conditions of ethnic Greek expatriates residing on either side of the hostilities line in the country’s eastern provinces. Among others, the meeting was focused on the civilian population humanitarian assistance, while Foreign Minister officials are also examining the possibility of aiding Greek nationals via the Mariupol Consulate General. For that purpose it was decided that a crisis management team should be created that – by the Foreign Minister’s order – will be entrusted with the immediate creation of a safe evacuation preventive plan for Greek nationals in case the conflict in eastern Ukraine is further escalated.
