Greece is firmly “against any revisionism and violation of the rules of International Law” and committed to providing strong support to Ukraine, Greek National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said on Wednesday at the informal meeting of EU Defence Ministers in Toledo.
During the discussion on Ukraine, in a separate post, Dendias underlined Greece’s “readiness to assist in activities of the EU Military Assistance Mission, regarding the training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” and the importance of increasing enhancing the European Defence Industry as well as of “enhancing the European Defence Industry – which is an essential step towards EU’s autonomy – and of having a thorough discussion regarding the EU security commitments to Ukraine.”
In the discussion on the serious developments in Africa, he urged the European Union not to remain passive. In a tweet, he said, “I underscored that by no means should we stay back and watch. On the contrary, we have to consider carefully any potential action to be taken by the EU. I stressed that whatever is at stake in the area of Sahel, as well as in Mozambique and other countries of Africa, is very important for the EU and its member states.”
More specifically, Dendias underlined at the meeting that after his visit to Niger and meeting with President Mohamed Bazoum, it was important for the EU to express support towards him.
