Europe should wake up following change in US policy, - Greek PM Mitsotakis

Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis calls on Europe to wake up

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis believes that Europe should wake up and build its own defence policy following a dramatic shift by the United States over Ukraine and geopolitical developments in recent months.

This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to Reuters.

Addressing a business conference in the city of Thessaloniki late on Wednesday, Mitsotakis said that Europe needed to "wake up from the geopolitical and economic lethargy into which it has unfortunately fallen for some time".

"Recent developments and this different view of things from the United States now oblige us not only to face the truth, but to move at a very high speed and implement decisions that we have been discussing for long," Greek PM said.

He noted that Europe needs to develop a defence policy that will allow it to develop its own deterrence and reduce its dependence on the United States.
