Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis is in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, where he was received by the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, ahead of the informal European Union summit.
Upon his arrival, the Greek Prime Minister paid particular attention to the €90 billion financing package. €90 million to Ukraine, which was approved after months of consultations, which had been “frozen” due to Viktor Orban’s stance.
Following political developments in Hungary and the victory of Peter Mayer, the way has been cleared for support for the funding, with Mr. Mitsotakis describing the release of the funds as “an important step in the right direction”.
He said that Europe has stood firmly by Ukraine since the beginning of the war, noting that financial aid is crucial for both the functioning of the state and its defence capacity.
In the margins of the Summit, 24 of the 27 EU leaders attending will meet with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, followed by a working dinner on the geopolitical environment and the Union’s overall attitude towards developments.
