- Evaporated milk

- Canned goods of all types
- Cereals
- Nuts
- Flour

“Our country, from the very beginning, has expressed our full sympathy and practical support for the hard-hitting Ukrainian people. Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Principles, the cradle of the athletic ideal, remains an unwaveringly strong guardian and supporter of the principles of Olympism. And at the core of the Olympic idea lies, of course, peaceful coexistence and cooperation and solidarity between peoples,” Mr. Avgenakis points out in a statement.
