Greece said on Monday that the statements by Russia which accused Athens of anti-Russia propaganda in the Ukraine war are “unacceptable.”
The Greek foreign ministry responded to the statements by the spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova who alleged that there is an orchestrated defamation of Russia in Greece.
“Senior officials in Athens find themselves making gross accusations against our country and its leadership,” Zakharova said.
She added: “We noticed the unprecedented campaign launched in Greece to defame Russia’s policy. Senior officials in Athens allow themselves to make crude accusations against our country and its leadership, they are literally competing with their like-minded people. They hypocritically speak of an “unprovoked attack” against Ukraine, for the first time since World War II, a “mass invasion” and so on.
“Europe, including Greece, is fully integrated into the ranks of the Kiev regime’s advocates, while the anti-Russia hysteria cultivated by the authorities has reached a boiling point,” the Russian foreign ministry said.
