In this handout photo distributed by Greek Prime Minister's Office, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Croatia's Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic inspect Turkish-made tear gas grenades used by refugees against the Greek police and border security in an attempt to breach the border between Greece and Turkey, in the town of Orestiada, Evros region, Greece. Thousands of refugees have flocked to the Greek and Bulgarian borders after Turkey said it was no longer able to contain them as tensions in Syria's Idlib, with which Turkey shares a border, continue to heighten.
