Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis participated on Tuesday in the meeting of the Coalition of the Willing for Ukraine in Paris.

According to sources, he stressed the need to further strengthen and support the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which constitute the most important security guarantee.

Greece had already announced in early December a contribution of 20 million euros as part of NATO's Prioritized Ukraine List of Requirements (PURL) initiative.

The same sources noted that Greece will not participate in a European military force in Ukraine, as the Greek Premier has already made clear. However, it does not rule out providing assistance in other ways outside Ukraine, including on maritime surveillance issues.

In any case, the relevant national parliamentary procedures will be followed to establish the support framework. According to the same sources, Mitsotakis stressed the importance of US participation in security guarantees for both Ukraine itself and Europe.

In addition, he highlighted Greece's support for Ukraine in the field of energy security, with an emphasis on the supply of natural gas through the Alexandroupolis FSRU and the Vertical Corridor. He also reiterated that changing borders through the use of force cannot be legitimised and that Ukraine alone will decide its future.

The Greek Prime Minister also emphasised the need to coordinate European positions so that the EU has a clear strategy in peace talks with the US and Russia.
