Sailors met their relatives at the Odessa airport, notes the Left Bank.

"We were tired from the road, we had four transplants. We want to go home, relax. I have not seen my son for a year and a half. He does not even remember me, "- said one of the Ukrainian sailors and added that the condition for their return is the monthly note at the Greek Consulate in Odessa.

Recall, according to the court's decision, 12 out of 16 Ukrainian sailors could leave Greece. Another four crew members - the captain, a senior aide and ordinary sailors - will be in Greece until all the circumstances are clarified.

The arrested vessel Mekong Spirit stands in the seaport of Lavrio, 60 kilometers from Athens.
