Responses for Greece’s non -participation in the London meeting are given government sources, stating that “the London meeting is not part of an international organization, but constitutes an individual initiative of the United Kingdom”.

They point out that “the meeting has been called primarily countries, and outside the European Union, which make the highest contribution to Ukraine and which at the discretion of the British government are on immediate availability of further military aid to Ukraine.”

As they point out, “at the UN General Meeting and Security Council, Greece supported the need for a fair and sustainable solution for the Ukrainian people.

The institutional forum, which will discuss, at European level, the issue of Ukraine’s support is the upcoming Extraordinary European Council of March 6th. There, any binding decisions will be made. “

According to the same sources, “the prime minister will reiterate Greece’s position that Europe should take more responsibility for its defense and that this requires bold measures, such as fiscal flexibility in Member States to be able to proceed with major European defense and European funding. Europe’s position should be one and one. “

It is recalled that earlier the PASOK Change Movement had made a statement in which he noted that Greece, instead of leading, was absent from discussions about Europe’s new security architecture.

“Instead of leading Greece,” Greece is absent from discussions about Europe’s new security architecture. The absence of our country from the London Summit, the second after that in Paris two weeks ago, with the presence of Turkey, as well as reflection and concern for our country. ” Foreign and Nikolas Papazoglou, Secretary of the Department of European Affairs of PASOK Change and indicate, concluding:

“At these critical times, the role of a strong Greece in the European family should not only be disputed but on the contrary it must be guaranteed, while the country’s involvement as a non -permanent member in the UN Security Council is not a decorative honor, but a means to consolidate its position in the international community.”
