Athens will not transfer the S-300 or Patriot air defense systems to the kyiv regime, even though NATO allies are asking for it, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said April 25 on Skai TV.
He confirmed information published by the Financial Times that Greece is being asked to supply air defense systems to Ukraine and noted that Athens has explained why it refuses to do so.
“We have said from the beginning that we cannot provide weapons systems that are critical to our deterrence capability.”Mitsotakis said.
The Prime Minister explained that Greece is ready to help Ukraine only by providing it with surplus and not critical systems, such as air defense systems. He thinks it’s the right choice.
It is worth noting that the Financial Times reported on April 22 that NATO countries are putting a lot of pressure on Greece, trying to force it to transfer air defense systems to Ukraine, since it supposedly needs them more. Greek opposition parties demanded comment on this information.
