Greece sent a demarche to Ukraine over the drone found on Lefkada

Greece has sent an official protest to Kiev over the discovery of a Ukrainian unmanned naval boat with explosives in a cave near the island of Lefkada in the Ionian Sea. This was stated on June 3 at a briefing by the official representative of the Greek Foreign Ministry, Lana Zohoe.

"The transfer of military operations to the Mediterranean, to a considerable distance from the actual front of the conflict, endangers our national security and deals a decisive blow to our national economy," the AMNA news agency quoted her as saying.

It is noted that representatives of the Greek Foreign Ministry conveyed the protest to Ukraine both in written and oral form.

The Politico newspaper reported on May 12 that the Greek authorities faced criticism from the opposition after the discovery of a Ukrainian naval drone off the coast of Lefkada Island. According to media reports, on May 8, an unmanned Magura V3 boat was found off the coast of the island. It was claimed that there were detonators on board.

Later, on May 26, Greek fishermen discovered a sea mine on the northern coast of the island of Crete, presumably by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The ammunition was located in a rocky area in the area of Agios Andonios between the villages of Milatos and Elounda. The fishermen who found the shell immediately notified the authorities, after which coast guard officers arrived at the scene.
