Two C-130 airplanes departed Elefsina base with military equipment and Air Force staff on Sunday, for help to Ukraine as it faces an attack by Russia, and an Aegean Airlines airplane lifted off the Athens International Airport carrying medical supplies and basic food staples.
The three airplanes will deliver the supplies to Poland. The mission, which was ordered by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis after an appeal by Ukraine’s government and consultations with EU and NATO allies, is accompanied by Deputy National Defense Minister Nikos Hardalias.
