Frontex chief Hans Leijtens vows to change organisation’s culture within three years
Executive Director of Frontex says he wishes Greece would comply with its international obligations when it comes to ensuring the safety of vulnerable refugees and migrants making their way to Europe often on non-seaworthy vessels.
A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck near Crete early Thursday, shaking areas across Greece, Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus. The quake, at a depth of 69 km, was centered north of Crete, near Ágios Nikólaos and Irákleion. Residents reported intense, brief tremors. This seismic event follows a similar 6.0 quake in the Mediterranean last week. Situated on a major tectonic boundary, Greece remains highly quake-prone, with thousands of tremors recorded recently in the Cyclades region alone.

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression.
