In his post on communication with the Greek Prime Minister, the Ukrainian President wrote: “I had a good conversation with the Prime Minister of Greece. We discussed increasing pressure on Russia and continuing support for Ukraine. I informed him about my recent contacts with European partners and President Trump. These days a lot of diplomatic efforts are being made. You need strong pressure and additional sanctions against Russia. We do not need to remind anyone that the war continues solely because of Russia’s reluctance to end it. I thanked Kyriakos and the whole European Union for the 17th Package of sanctions. Moscow must be deprived of everything that allows it to finance the murders. Greece shares our position and will help increase pressure. Of course, it is important to continue to support Ukraine, our army, domestic defense production and to boost air defense. We are grateful for Greece’s constant readiness to help protect lives. I invited Prime Minister Mitsotakis to attend the Ukraine-Eastern Europe Summit. Confirmed his participation. Thank you”.
