Greece denounces UE manipulation on Ukraine...voltairenet.org

The new Greek governement, led by Alexis Tsipras, protested strongly against the declaration by the « … heads of State or government of the Union... » which declares that the « separatists » bear the responsibility for the « blind bombing » of the town of Marioupol and threatens Russsia with new sanctions [1].

According to Mr. Tsipras, Greece had not been consulted, and the declaration had been published in violation of Union procedure.
According to the EU Observer, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria made several vain attempts to modify the declaration by removing the phrase attributing the attack of Marioupol to the independentists.
