Details: Tykhyi said Ukraine currently has no information about the uncrewed surface vessel found in Greece.

Quote: "There is no evidence that it belongs to Ukrainian naval drone operators."

More details: Tykhyi added that Ukraine is open to cooperating with Greece to establish the circumstances of the incident, if the Greek side submits appropriate requests.

Background:

  • The Guardian reported earlier that Greek authorities have stepped up an investigation into how a drone carrying explosives ended up in waters off the country's west coast.
  • Ukrainian defence technology company Uforce clarified in a comment to Ukrainska Pravda that the vessel was not a Magura drone, as some media outlets had previously reported.
  • Ekathimerini, a Greek media outlet, had claimed earlier that a Ukrainian Magura 5 drone had been found in waters south of the Ionian island of Lefkada.
