In the aftermath of a train accident in Greece, protests have erupted in the capital city of Athens. More than 20,000 employees who had previously announced a strike came together in Syntagma Square, located near the parliament building. The protest turned tense at times as the demonstrators faced off with the police. Some protesters hurled Molotov cocktails and stones, escalating the situation. The crowd chanted “The murderers” and “Their profits, our dead” while demanding that the government not cover up the accident and resign. Additionally, protesters demanded that railway operations be returned to the public sector and not remain in private hands. The situation remains tense in Athens as protests continue.
Following peace talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine resumed airstrikes. Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi killed two and injured 11, leading to a four-hour suspension at Sochi Airport. Russia’s defense systems shot down 39 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Odessa injured at least four people, targeting the Pryvoz market, and strikes in the Cherkasy region injured seven. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the ongoing attacks despite ceasefire proposals discussed in Istanbul. The peace talks also resulted in an agreement for the exchange of military and civilian prisoners.
