Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has warned that the only route to a durable peace in Ukraine is ensuring Russian President Vladimir Putin understands he cannot achieve his goals militarily, telling CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour that any settlement must include binding guarantees that Russia will not target Ukraine again.

From the podium of the 5th “Metropolitan Summit” in Thessaloniki, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, stressed the need to immediately stop the war in Ukraine and in this context emphasized that not enough pressure is being exerted on Putin, especially through economic sanctions.

“We are left with two people among the world’s leaders right now. Me and Putin,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
