Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday participated in the European People’s Party (EPP) leaders’ teleconference to discuss the latest developments regarding Ukraine.

On his part, Mitsotakis underlined that progress emerging from the Ukraine-US talks is positive, while stressing that the outcome must be a just and lasting peace, with dignity for Ukraine.

He also stressed that the inviolability of borders must be respected by all and that the need for strong Ukrainian armed forces cannot be negotiated.

Meanwhile, the AP on Wednesday reported that US President Donald Trump’s efforts to broker an end to the Russia-Ukraine war closely mirrors the tactics he employed to end the Gaza quagmire, namely, “bold terms that favor one side, deadlines for the combatants and vague outlines for what comes next. The details — enforcing the terms, guaranteeing security, who pays for rebuilding — matter less.”
