Shelling during Odessa visit by Zelensky and Mitsotakis. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen condemned what she called the “vile attack” on Zelenskiy and his guest.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced in the evening that a hall in the port of Odessa had been destroyed by the shelling. Ukrainian sea drones were prepared there for combat use, according to the Russian defense ministry. The day before, the Ukrainian armed forces had used remote-controlled explosive boats to sink the Russian patrol boat “Sergei Kotov” off the coast of the Crimean peninsula.
