In a highly symbolic move, the Greek flag is flying again today in Kyiv, as the Greek embassy reopened its doors in the Ukrainian capital. Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias announced its reopening in a statement after meeting with Kenyan Foreign Minister Raychelle Omamo.

Manolis Androulakis, the last diplomat to leave the besieged city of Mariupol, has been appointed head of the Greek embassy in Kyiv, Nikos Dendias also announced.

At the same time, he sent the message that Greece, through its embassy in Kyiv and the consulate in Odessa, is next to the Greek community, but also next to the Ukrainian people. The Greek embassy had closed on February 25, one day after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
