Mitsotakis’ message to Putin
We remind you that during his speech at the conference of the European People’s Party held on Thursday in Bucharest, Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred to the attack that took place during his presence in Odessa.
In fact, he had sent a clear message to Putin’s side: «In this dark hour of Europe with the war in Ukraine we have shown our determination in supporting Ukraine against this war with a united front, which our enemies perhaps did not expect. So we continue to support Ukraine financially, militarily, we have taken sanctions against Russia and we are sending the message that no violation of territorial sovereign rights and international law will be accepted by the European family.
I was in Odessa yesterday with President Zelensky when a Russian missile hit the port, when we had visited it, and I think we really should have only one message to the Kremlin: You will not be afraid of us, we will continue to support Ukraine and its great citizens her for as long as necessary. And of course we will remain completely united in our decision».
