This information was to appear initially in the Greek media following an incidental in Odessa during a visit by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Ukraine, where he met with president Volodymyr Zelenski. A Russian rocket of unknown type, which the Ukrainian anti-aircraft defence operating in the area could not shoot down, fell about 150 metres from them. Therefore, the subject of the transfer of Greek OPL kits to Ukraine was to be discussed again among decision-makers. The main emphasis was to be placed on the S-300PMU1 system, which the Greeks had already wanted to pass... provided they received a Patriot set of American production instead. [At the end of the year 2022 spoke of this to the local defence minister Nikolaos Panaiotopoulos](https://defence24.pl/defence-defence-policy/Greek-s-300-for-Ukraine-want-patriots). Thus, the information is not new, [although it means softening the communicative against the words of the Greek government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis, who demented information about the plan to transfer S-300 systems](https://defence24.pl/war-on-Ukrainian-report-special-defence24/greece-non-transfer-Ukrainian-systems-s-300).
