Zelenskyy remarked that Ukraine seeks the support of Greece to get a guarantee of shipping security from all its Black Sea ports, especially Odesa.
“Ukraine has created an alternative grain corridor in the Black Sea. It can operate but in order for its operation to be stable, the air shield needs to be strengthened,” he explained.
Zelenskyy called upon Mitsotakis to make his contribution to the all-European security by helping Kyiv “protect Black Sea water area with air defence systems”.
“I have suggested an option for this discussion, how this can be done.What is really important is that Greek companies are ready to partake in the transportation of the Ukrainian grain,” Zelenskyy added.
BACKGROUND:
On 17 July, Russia announced the suspension of the grain deal and threatened the parties willing to continue the initiative without Russia with “risks”. Moreover, Russia has started launching large-scale attacks on the port infrastructure of Odesa and Danube ports.
