Kyriakos Mitsotakis

The President of the European Council Charles Michel believes that the shelling of Odesa during the visit of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and the Prime Minister of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis demonstrates the cowardly tactics of the russian federation.

Greece is considering increasing military assistance to Ukraine, including providing air defense and anti-aircraft weapons that are no longer used by the Greek armed forces.

The Greek Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage. The law faced strong opposition from the Orthodox Church.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis preparations for the second Ukraine-Balkans summit, invited Greece to organize the Global Peace Summit, and informed him of Ukraine's defense needs, particularly in air defense and artillery. They also discussed unblocking €50 billion in EU aid to Ukraine.

Greece has decided to give Ukraine outdated weapons systems that are no longer used by its military. This comes after the United States approved the sale of $8.6 billion worth of F-35 fighter jets to Greece and offered additional military aid of $200 million if Greece provides the weapons to Ukraine.
