“Today marks two years since the illegal Russian attack on Ukraine, which has led to the loss of thousands of human lives and untold destruction,” the Foreign Ministry said, marking the two-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

As he points out in his announcement, “Greece stands firmly by the side of the brave Ukrainian people who are fighting for the independence and sovereignty of their country. Our support to the government and people of Ukraine is continuous and sincere.”

He also emphasizes that “our position is unequivocal: changes to internationally recognized borders with the use of military force are contrary to the Charter of the United Nations and therefore unacceptable”.

“Respecting the territorial integrity, national sovereignty and independence of all states and refraining from the use of force or the threat of use of force in international relations are fundamental principles of international law and non-negotiable principles of Greek foreign policy,” adds the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. .

“Greece does not forget the victims of the Russian attacks and the disasters in Mariupol, in the area where populous Greek communities developed for centuries. We remain determined to continue supporting Ukraine in its just defense struggle,” the statement concludes.
