Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed an agreement on security cooperation on the sidelines of the European Council meeting in Brussels.

Greece is the 21st EU Member State to sign a bilateral agreement with Ukraine.

The agreement follows the accession of Greece and the EU to the G7 Joint Statement (July 2023) on supporting Ukraine's security in the long term and the corresponding EU-Ukraine agreement signed on 27 June 2024 on the margins of the European Council in Brussels.

According to the government, the agreement paves the way for Greece's active participation in Ukraine's reconstruction efforts.

The bilateral agreement on multi-faceted support and reconstruction of Ukraine, modelled on similar bilateral agreements concluded by the majority of EU member states, has as its main objective the strengthening of Ukraine's resilience and multi-faceted support for the country and its accession path.
