A new US military landing began on Tuesday at Dimokritis Airport in the Greek city of Alexandroupolis. More than 200 military personnel and civilians from the USA are expected to arrive in Western Thrace, who will later participate in the transportation of military equipment in Central Europe to the military conflict zone in Ukraine, the Greek “Ta Nea” reported.

According to the publication, the number of American servicemen in Western Thrace will gradually increase and may reach 400 people. Their task is to prepare the military equipment that will arrive by ship at the port in Dedeagach for further transport.

It is planned that the transfer of the armament will take place by rail and road transport to North-Eastern Europe to the places of deployment of American forces and NATO units. In particular, military transports will include armored and other military equipment and combat helicopters.

Transports with equipment damaged during the hostilities in Ukraine and subject to repair will go on the return route – it will be loaded and sent to the USA. The first ship with damaged equipment is due to sail from Alexandroupolis next Saturday.

U.S. personnel arriving in Alexandroupolis will be housed at Camp Yiannouli, as provided for in the Hellenic-American Defense Cooperation Agreement (MDCA). The corresponding living spaces in which the Americans will be located during the logistics operation have already been formed.

The entire mission is expected to last until the summer, which means that a large number of Americans – civilians and military – will remain living in Alexandroupolis for a long time, Ta nea points out.

The Turkish newspaper “Milliet” also wrote about the landing. The authorities in Ankara closely monitor American activity in Western Thrace, and in January Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented that the United States was turning Greece into an American military camp.

As the newspaper notes, the head of the Ministry of Defense said this when welcoming his Parisian counterpart Sebastien Lecornu in Rome at a meeting on the security of the so-called extended Mediterranean and Russia’s war against Ukraine.

“A third world war could start if Russian tanks arrive in Kyiv and on the borders of Europe. Not allowing them to come is the only way to stop it,” Crosetto said.

And he added that next week a new decree on assistance to Ukraine may appear.

“There are common values between Italy and France that reinforce a common strategic vision. Full agreement on the topics discussed, in particular: loyalty to Ukraine, security in the Mediterranean, European defense and cooperation between the armed forces. It is important that Italy and France and the armed forces of our countries cooperated in planning our security in the future,” the minister stressed.

Crosetto stressed that the security of the two countries begins with the eastern front, with what is happening in Ukraine. Both ministers agreed that the war unleashed by Russia is the most serious threat to the peace and stability of the European continent since the end of World War II.

“This is a clear violation of the principles of integrity and inviolability of territorial borders, international law and the Charter of the United Nations,” the Defense Ministry stressed in a statement following the meeting.

The results of the meeting were also commented on by the French Minister of Defense, who confirmed his readiness to promote a joint program of military support for Ukraine, the protection of the Mediterranean from new threats and the study of strengthening the possibilities of joint production for ground-to-air defense.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com January 19, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Until a year ago, many specialists in security policy and international relations believed that the warfare of the 21st century, especially already in Europe or Western countries, would be determined by the most modern weapons, drones, nuclear weapons or even just cyber attacks and information operations. However, the war in Ukraine has shown that even in a conflict between countries that have access to large military resources, classic heavy armored vehicles can become decisive. Currently, the supply of tanks to Ukraine, which considers them as potential determinants of the outcome of the war, is particularly relevant on the agenda – why is that, and what progress has been made in the discussions between the allies?
