Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis held a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, during which, the Greek Minister reiterated his country’s steadfast support for Ukraine, its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Minister Gerapetritis also stated that the Hellenic Republic will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine in its fight against revisionism and will participate in Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.

Earlier this October, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a bilateral agreement on security cooperation, on the sidelines of the European Council meeting in Brussels. The agreement follows the accession of Greece and the EU to the G7 Joint Declaration (July 2023), on long-term security support for Ukraine as well as the corresponding EU-Ukraine agreement signed on 27 June 2024.
