Donbass’ “forgotten” Greeks: We sit at home and listen to Ukrainian army shelling



The reference of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Greek expatriates living in Donbass brought to the fore a forgotten part of Hellenism that lives in an area that has been going through difficult years.

“Russia is part of the European security architecture. Therefore a functional relationship ultimately benefits all parties,” Mitsotakis said in his joint statements with Putin last week.

“Greece, as a member of the European Union and NATO, is also approaching these relations with great care and that is why I did not hide my concern about the resurgence of tensions in Ukraine.

“I believe that a conflict there will not have a winner, it will only have losers.

“That is why I believe that the Minsk agreements, but also the reactivation of the Normandy scheme, shows us the way.

“Let us not forget that Greece has a special interest in the Donbass region due to the strong presence of Greeks living in the region.”
