Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Thursday said a Russian attack on Odesa during a visit of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the port city on Wednesday was “another example” of the Kremlin’s “cowardly tactics”.
“It will not succeed in its attempt to intimidate Ukraine or Europe. And that will only reinforce solidarity from all of us”, Zourabichvili said in a social media message.
The attack on #Odesa during President @ZelenskyyUa and PM @kmitsotakis visit is another example of Russia's cowardly tactics. It will not succeed in its attempt to intimidate Ukraine or Europe. And that will only reinforce solidarity from all of us.

The Russian missile strike on the city appeared to land near the two state leaders during Mitsotakis’ visit. The attack killed five individuals and injured others in the city, the Ukrainian navy said.
