The Presidential Mansion in Athens was lit up in the colors of the Ukrainian flag on Monday to mark Europe Day.
In a statement, the Office of the Presidency said that the initiative “is a minimal sign of solidarity and support for the Ukrainian people, who are fighting for freedom, independence, the rule of law and the right to self-determination, the fundamental values of our culture.”
Europe Day is a day celebrating “peace and unity in Europe,” celebrated on May 5 by the Council of Europe and on May 9 by the European Union.
The first recognition of Europe Day was by the Council of Europe, in 1964.
