Two Ukrainians were found to be on board a burning ferry in the Mediterranean on Monday as the Greek coastguard service carried out massive rescue operation.
It is unclear whether any of the trapped passengers and crew had fallen overboard, Ukraine Today reports.
Due to the storm, helicopters and life rafts could not be used in the rescue mission.
