The head of GEETHA, General, also participated in the meeting Konstantinos Floros.
Greece, underlined N. Panagiotopoulos, adopted from the first moment a clear and unequivocal stance against the invasion and the Russian revisionism and sided with its partners and allies regarding the decision to impose sanctions and their full implementation, despite the heavy economic price involved .
In a spirit of solidarity and support for Ukraine, our country, after consulting with its EU partners and NATO allies, offers all possible humanitarian and defense assistance, contributing to the struggle of the Ukrainian people for defense and protection of their freedom, he added.

In addition, US Ambassador to Athens Jeffrey Payat tweeted “exceptional” that both the Greek Minister of National Defense and the head of GEETHA “along with many others” were “present” at the meeting at the Rammstein base in Germany. .
Excellent to have @npanagioto and @ChiefHNDGS in attendance, along with many other allies. https://t.co/GMmlqSqQTr
