What in a Forbes article talks about US assistance in acquiring used equipment for the Greek armed forces, confirms the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry M. Zakharova, speaking about the practical value of the weapons that the United States wants to transfer to Greece, and the weapons that we will transfer to Ukraine if they continue this “cyclical” agreement .
A Russian Foreign Ministry official, in statements published on the X (formerly Twitter) website of the Russian Embassy in Athens, explains what exactly is happening and what is behind the government drumbeat about receiving “free” American equipment.
Statements by the press secretary of the Russian Foreign Ministry:
“Recently, Washington has intensified its search around the world for remnants of Soviet and Russian weapons for their subsequent transfer to Ukraine…
Recently, Greek media reported that the United States is trying to convince Athens to transfer Russian air defense systems and ammunition to Kyiv…
They promise Greece, in exchange for outdated combat vehicles, frigates and other weapons, another 200 million dollars, which, according to Greek experts, is not enough to purchase even one Western air defense system.”

Υπόσχονται στην Ελλάδα ως αντάλλαγμα τα απαρχαιωμένα τεθωρακισμένα οχήματα μάχης, τις φρεγάτες και άλλα όπλα, καθώς και 200 εκατ. δολάρια επιπλέον, τα οποία, σύμφωνα με τους Έλληνες ειδικούς, δεν επαρκούν για την αγορά ούτε ενός δυτικού συστήματος αεράμυνας.
