We will never reach your level, you have crossed the borders of the earth.

 

[Kansei]

did he cried about Turks there?

It is insane how you manage to change the topic as elegantly as a car crash, repeat the same argument that got debunked several times in previous threads, spam cope and seeth and somehow managing to be so little self aware that you think that’s winning an argument

 

[what]

This is not the Turkish section, its the Greek section. Stop making everything about Turkey. Not relevant posts were deleted and the respective users warned.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias’ statement to Greek journalists, following his contacts in Mariupol and Sartana, Ukraine (Mariupol, 31.01.2022)​

I also had the opportunity today to speak by telephone with my friend, my counterpart, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, to whom I reiterated Greece’s firm position. Greece, out of principle, always supports the independence and territorial integrity of all states, in accordance with the principles of International Law and the United Nations Charter. I would like to express the hope that the tension which currently exists will not continue, that the situation will return to calm and de-escalation.

Russians are not stupid. The Greek FM chose exactly this time of tensions to visit Ukraine (what a timing) and express support for Ukraines territorial integrity (thats including Donbass and Crimea).

Russians are very, very sensitive. They dont like this.

How many Greeks are there in Mariopul and Ukraine in general?

I have heard that there used to be many Greeks living in Crimea before Stalin cleansed the are after WWII. Odesa sounds pretty similar to Odesos- the old name of Varna, Bulgaria. There used to be many Greeks in our Black Sea region too.

I am copying from the source you gave:
"The next Ukrainian census was planned to be held in 2020. But in April 2020 Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Oleh Nemchinov confirmed that in 2020 there will not be a census in Ukraine and probably also not in 2021 because the census was considered" an expensive pleasure. "Nemchinov stated in December 2020 that the next Ukrainian census was planned for 2023."
Nikos Dendias who just found these numbers when the only detailed population census that has been done in Ukraine is that of 2001?

From the Greeks of Ukraine.
