  • A Russian missile landed near the Greek prime minister during a visit to Ukraine last week.
  • It's not an isolated event — several visiting NATO leaders have been threatened by air attacks.
  • Experts told BI that the incidents reflect Russia's willingness to provoke Ukraine's allies.

Last week, Russia launched a deadly missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Odesa just as Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was visiting its port.
