“From the first moment, we provide the Russian citizen with all the necessary consular assistance,” the embassy told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, lawyer Yannis Rakhiotis said that Russian energy expert Yevgeny Kalinin was detained in Greece at the request of Ukraine.

According to the lawyer, Ukraine accuses Kalinin of violating tax laws, while Rakhiotis is convinced that “this case is political”, and the Russian is on the list of the Peacemaker website.
