“Today we signed a Security Cooperation Agreement with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Greece is ready to support our nation’s most pressing defense needs in the future. It will provide additional resources to accelerate the training of our pilots and technical personnel for the F-16 aircraft.”

According to the Greek government, the agreement paves the way for active Greek participation in the reconstruction of Ukraine, in particular Odessa. It is a city with strong cultural and historical ties to Greece, which Mitsotakis promised to help revive during his visit to Ukraine last March. Such recovery efforts also open up opportunities for Greek companies to collaborate with both European and Ukrainian firms.
