Greece's handling of the war in Ukraine, its role in NATO, and more

Since Putin invaded Ukraine, Greece has taken a firm stance in support of Ukraine - both diplomatically and materially. These steps have not gone unnoticed by Greece’s partners in the West, primarily the US, with the State Department praising Greece’s handling of the Ukraine crisis and its role on the southeastern flank of NATO.
