But Wednesday’s incident stood out for how close the missile strike was to both Zelensky and Mitsotakis — what some Western leaders condemned as a new low for Moscow, which has committed thousands of atrocities against civilians throughout its invasion.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, said on X: “No one is intimidated by this new attempt at terror — certainly not the two leaders on the ground nor the brave people of Ukraine.
Odessa has been particularly hard-hit in recent days, and Zelensky has pointed to delays by allies in supplying air defense as contributing to the rising toll of civilian deaths in the city.
Ukraine has continued to export grain out of Odessa despite Russia last year exiting a deal that allowed cargo ships safe passage to sail along a corridor in the Black Sea.
Though Zelensky didn’t specifically refer to the United States, Ukraine’s largest donor of weapons, a new security assistance package from Washington has been stalled in Congress for months.
Hours after the strike on Odessa, shelling struck a shopping center in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Nikopol, causing a large fire to break out.
