Greece pledges additional resources for Ukrainian F-16 pilot and technician training

Ukraine and Greece have signed a Security Cooperation Agreement in Brussels, marking a significant step in bilateral relations and support for Ukraine’s defense capabilities. The agreement, signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on 17 October 2024, outlines comprehensive cooperation in various sectors, with a particular focus on military assistance.

The pact was signed as part of the implementation of the G7 Joint Declaration adopted in Vilnius in July 2023 amid the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. To date, Ukraine has signed 27 bilateral agreements with various countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Latvia, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Japan, the US, the EU, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Luxembourg, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Ireland, and Greece.

According to the Ukrainian President’s website, Greece has committed to providing additional resources to accelerate F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots and technicians. This commitment builds upon Greece’s ongoing military support to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, which has included material and technical assistance as well as training.

The agreement includes several key areas of cooperation:

  1. Economic partnership
  2. Security cooperation
  3. Support for sanctions against the Russian Federation
  4. Efforts to bring the aggressor state to justice and secure compensation for damages
  5. Collaboration in culture, education, and the arts

Additionally, Greece has pledged to participate in the restoration and reconstruction of Ukraine. The Hellenic Republic also expressed its support for Ukraine’s future membership in the European Union and NATO, as well as for the Peace Formula proposed by Ukraine.
