Greece reaffirms support for Ukraine as UN passes resolution condemning Russia

·

Greece has reaffirmed its commitment to international law and its support for Ukraine as the UN General Assembly passed a resolution condemning Russia’s invasion.

Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, speaking at the UN, reiterated Greece’s consistent stance since the start of the war.

Referring to the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Gerapetritis stressed that Greece “unequivocally condemns any violation by military means of international peace and security.”

Greece has actively supported previous UN resolutions calling for an end to the war, welcomed Ukrainian refugees, and backed diplomatic efforts for a lasting peace.

In his address, Gerapetritis stressed that peace must be achieved through diplomacy and without exclusion. He also warned that the war in Ukraine is not just a regional crisis but a matter of global security.

His remarks came as the UN vote saw 93 countries back the Ukraine-EU resolution condemning Russia’s invasion, while the US, Russia, Belarus, and North Korea were among the 18 nations that voted against it.

The US had pushed for an alternative resolution, which omitted references to Russia’s aggression and focused solely on ending the war.

The shift in US policy under President Donald Trump has raised concerns among European allies, including Greece, which has traditionally aligned itself with EU foreign policy on matters of international security.
