Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis repeated Greece’s steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and its right to defend itself, during the emergency NATO summit in Brussels on Thursday, government sources reported.

He referred to the measures taken by Greece to support Ukraine with defence supplies and humanitarian aid from the first moment, as well as its support of the sanctions and the reception of 13,000 Ukrainian refugees who had arrived in Greece.

Regarding the sanctions against Russia, he stressed that they must be implemented uniformly by all NATO members in order to be effective.

The prime minister also spoke about the situation in Mariupol, a city with a large community of ethnic Greeks, and said the human losses there were a tragedy not only for Ukraine but also for Greece, which mourns deaths in the Greek community.
