Chris Avramidis wrote that Pavlos Marinakis had met with Kimberly Guilfoyle on September 16 and described their conversation as "extremely productive and substantial." According to Avramidis, less than a month later, Donald Trump requested her resignation amid allegations and reports regarding her behavior. Avramidis mentioned that he asked what was discussed in the meeting and whether topics related to the Vertical Corridor and the business interests surrounding it were raised. In his description, Marinakis initially responded by criticizing those who found the meeting problematic, while later stating that among the topics were the embassy press releases and the communication of the visits of American officials. Avramidis cited reports indicating that Guilfoyle was asking businessmen for hundreds of thousands of dollars, even to pay off her luxury Mercedes. He added that, according to reports, she had made derogatory comments about Greeks during the crisis. Regarding the Vertical Corridor, Avramidis wrote that Marinakis responded that the agreement was signed before Guilfoyle arrived in Greece. He clarified that his questions concerned the subsequent processes and the business interests surrounding the implementation of the project. According to Avramidis, the government spokesperson extensively presented the energy strategy, mentioning among others ExxonMobil, Chevron, Bergam, Rubio, Houston, and Ukraine, but responded negatively to the question of whether he discussed these issues with Guilfoyle. Avramidis added that Marinakis hinted that those who disagreed with the Vertical Corridor might, albeit inadvertently, express the positions of neighboring countries. He argued that the project would increase the prices consumers would pay and stated that he would continue to ask government officials about their meetings with foreign officials and the interests surrounding multi-billion dollar agreements. #Κυβέρνηση #ΕπιχειρηματικάΣυμφέροντα #Διπλωματία (translated)

OlympiaGR reported that Rybovolovlev had halted all work on Skorpios, as he claimed it was certain that the Ukrainian drone found in Lefkada was targeting his yacht, the "Anna," and likely himself. He added that Dokos probably knew of the case and connected it to his urging of Russian pranksters, whom he mistook for Ukrainian officials, to kill Russian millionaires who were in Turkey and not in Greece, due to impending elections. OlympiaGR also stated that a few weeks later, the first terrorist attack in the history of Monaco occurred, according to them. They claimed that the target was Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev, whom they characterized as an enemy of Zelensky, as well as his wife and their 13-year-old son, and that the attack was organized and executed by Ukrainians. They added that the woman who planted the bomb was killed in Ukraine a few days later to remove any traces. #Ουκρανία #τρομοκρατία #ολιγάρχες (translated)

The lifting of American sanctions, the easing of pressure on the aggressor, the economic rewards for Putin — all of these only encourage him to continue the attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday that the decision of his American counterpart Donald Trump not to impose new sanctions on Moscow would encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin. #Ζελένσκι #Ρωσία #Κυρώσεις (translated)
