- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The US is in constant contact with Greece and Ukraine, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said regarding the Russian attack in Odessa during a visit by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The US State Department spokesperson was asked a question during the regular press briefing on the US reaction.
More specifically, Matthew Miller said: "We are in constant contact with both of those countries. I don’t have any specific conversations to read out. I think the strike is yet another reminder of how Russia continues to strike Ukraine every single day, and it’s a reminder of Ukraine’s need for air defence interceptors, and it’s a reminder that the United States Congress needs to take action, as we have called on them to do, to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression."
Measnwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed the American government's gratitude to Greece for its continued contribution to Ukraine's security, during a telephone conversation with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday.
According to a State Department statement, "The secretary and the prime minister reaffirmed the importance of the US-Greece bilateral relationship and our shared values as NATO allies to promote peace and prosperity. The secretary thanked the prime minister for Greece's continued contributions to Ukraine's security."
