Communist Party of Greece on Ukranian drone
"The Greek government is accountable to the Greek people! The policy of war involvement is dragging the people and the country into the abyss of imperialist war!
This is confirmed by today's Rizospastis article, which reports that the Ukrainian floating drone spotted on May 7 off Lefkada, armed with hundreds of kilos of explosives, had a mission to strike a Russian Navy ship, which was escorting a merchant ship of the Russian "shadow fleet". In fact, such a strike would be the first to occur, signaling a serious escalation and expansion of the imperialist war thousands of kilometers away from the Russian-Ukrainian borders.
It seems that this explanation has been officially given by the Ukrainian authorities for days, contrary to the allegations and leaks from the Greek government. After all, the government has left unanswered all the crucial questions that the KKE raised from the very beginning about this specific incident.
Break the silence! The government must immediately give explanations to the Greek people. With the backs of the rest of the parties in the system, "new" and old, who agree with the policy of involvement in American-NATO plans, it conceals the enormous dangers that this policy brings for the country and its people! These dangers are also confirmed by the recent incident with the explosion of a similar drone in the port of Constanta, Romania."
