I am concerned about the political situation in the US, it is not clear at the moment but I expect it will be resolved in the end. US aid is critical for Ukrainian military effectiveness, but I expect this political crisis to be resolved, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in a statement to the American network CNBC.

Asked about the possibility of starting accession talks for Ukraine and Moldova in December, the prime minister replied that it is possible and comparatively “as you know we are following a strict procedure and we are waiting for the report from the European Commission so that we can make a decision in December.

We have discussed European enlargement, but what is important is to see whether the EU is ready to accept more members and whether it has the financial mechanisms to support all members.

Regarding the challenges posed by the enlargement of the European Union, the prime minister said that they concern both the economic issue and the way decisions are made.
