Athens is continuing efforts to evacuate the country’s consul general Manolis Androulakis from Ukraine’s besieged city of Mariupol, ekathimerini.com reports.
Russian shelling of the port city prevented a humanitarian convoy from reaching the port city on Thursday, Reuters said, denting hopes of evacuating trapped civilians increasingly desperate for supplies.
Androulakis, who is the only remaining EU diplomat in Mariupol, is currently sheltering at the building of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
An evacuation will take place only following a partial ceasefire has been agreed to allow humanitarian corridors out of Mariupol, the Foreign Ministry officials said.
