State Department: Praise to Greece for its stance on the Ukrainian

The State Department in Greece praises the fast and effective reflexes it showed during the Ukrainian crisis.

Responding to a question from APE, a State Department spokesman said the United States congratulated the Greek government on “the significant and timely assistance it has provided to the Ukrainian government, including both humanitarian and military assistance.” “Delivered within a few hours of President Zelensky’s request, shows once again Greece ‘s solidarity with Ukraine.”

Continuing, the representative of the State Department highlighted the role played by our country as a strategic ally of the United States. “Greece is an important strategic ally of the United States that actively promotes security, stability and democracy, not only in Europe, but in various areas that are important to the United States. Therefore, Greece plays a critical role, “We praise NATO’s southeastern wing. We commend NATO’s allies and partners – including our ally Greece – for providing military, humanitarian or both forms of assistance to Ukraine.”

Finally, the spokesman said that the United States will continue to strongly support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, saying that the improvement of its defense capabilities is an example of US support. He stressed that this assistance provided through the US, its allies and partners will continue to arrive daily in Ukraine. “Improving Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against unprovoked Russian aggression is a concrete example of our support. Together with our allies and partners, we are increasing our defense assistance to Ukraine, which is using it to defend itself against continuing brutal aggression.” “The Biden government has provided more than $ 1.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021,” he said.
