The Russian Navy’s frigate Admiral Kasatonov has called at the port of Piraeus on occasion of the celebration of 200 years since the start of the 1821-1829 Greek national liberation revolution against Ottoman rule, Russia’s embassy in Greece said on its Facebook on Tuesday.

"The cutting-edge frigate Admiral Kasatonov of the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet is visiting the port of Piraeus on March 23-25. The visit is part of the festivities on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Greek revolution," the statement says.

The frigate’s entire crew was inoculated with the Russian vaccine against the novel coronavirus, it said.

In February this year, the frigate Admiral Kasatonov already made a call at the port of Piraeus under the program of its first long-distance deployment. Its basic aim was to replenish supplies and demonstrate the Russian naval flag.
