• The claim states a trend ('increased rapidly') without giving figures; the available data indicate the increase started from a near-zero baseline (no violations recorded in 2024), so the rapid growth is partly a rebound effect rather than a new all-time high.
• All sources found are journalistic (secondary) reporting based on Greek military/Hellenic National Defence General Staff data; no primary official Greek Ministry of Defence statistics page was retrieved.
• The absolute annual totals for 2025-2026 remain far below the levels of the pre-2020 period, context that the speaker does not provide.
