Details: Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis signed the agreement in Brussels.
Zelenskyy recalled that Greece has been giving Ukraine military support, especially logistical and training support, since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion.
Quote: "Today, we signed an Agreement on Security Cooperation with the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Greece is ready to continue meeting Ukraine’s most urgent defence needs. It will also provide additional resources to accelerate F-16 training for our pilots and technicians," Zelensky said.
He thanked Greece for all the support and capabilities provided for the protection of Ukraine.
In particular, Odesa, a city with significant cultural and historical ties to Greece that Mitsotakis committed to help rebuild during his March visit to Ukraine, will benefit from Greece's active participation in Ukraine's restoration, according to the Athens administration. Such rehabilitation operations create opportunities for Greek companies to collaborate with Ukrainian and European businesses.
