Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis makes an unplanned and short-term visit to Ukraine – he will meet with the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky in Odessa.
The Prime Minister’s visit is on his way to Bucharest, where today he will take part in a two-day conference of the European People’s Party. The ratification of Ursula von der Leyen’s candidacy for her second term as President of the European Commission will take place there.
Airplane of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, writes publication iefimerida.gr, landed shortly after 10:30 in Odessa, where a meeting with the Ukrainian president was planned in the strictest secrecy.
February 24 marked two years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Kyriakos Mitsotakis sent a message of support to Ukrainians who continue to fight against Russian forces in a post on X. He called the Ukrainian people “brave,” adding: “We will support them as long as necessary.”
Let us remind you that the President of Ukraine visited Athens several months ago, and today’s visit of the Greek Prime Minister is of a very symbolic nature, while the European Union has decided to continue to support the country in the war with Russia.
