By Will VASSILOPOULOS with Khrystyna ZANYK in Warsaw Greece will help train Ukrainian F-16 warplane pilots and assist the reconstruction
Greece will help train Ukrainian F-16 warplane pilots and assist the reconstruction of Odesa, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Monday.
Training by an 11-nation coalition is to begin this month, and officials hope pilots will be ready by early 2024. The Ukrainian port city in the early 19th century was the birthplace of a secret Greek revolutionary organisation that helped to spark the 1821 revolution against Ottoman rule in Greece.His visit to Athens coincided with an informal dinner hosted by Mitsotakis with Balkan leaders, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council chief Charles Michel.
The other participants are the presidents of Serbia, Moldova, Montenegro and Romania, the prime ministers of Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Croatia, and the chairwoman of the council of ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mitsotakis’ office said in a statement.
