希腊总理在布鲁塞尔表态:全力援乌 但不会以削弱本国防务为代价

希腊总理米佐塔基斯10月16日在布鲁塞尔出席欧洲理事会峰会期间表示,希腊将尽一切可能支持乌克兰,但不会采取削弱本国防务能力的步骤。他在接受自由电台采访时,回应了有关雅典是否会从本国库存中向基辅转让「爱国者」地空导弹拦截弹的提问。
米佐塔基斯说:「我们已从自身库存中向乌克兰提供了可观的防空装备。同时我要完全坦率地说:我们会在不损害希腊防务能力的前提下,全力支持乌克兰。我们所处地区安全敏感,还有其他义务,但我们与乌克兰站在一起。」他未公开评论乌克兰政府是否已正式提出请求。
据希腊《每日报》报道,基辅曾向雅典提出获取多达200枚PAC-2导弹的请求。希腊此前已向乌克兰转让射程较短的防空系统,但从未正式宣布或批准交付远程「爱国者」拦截弹。(GSM 据基辅邮报及自由电台报道)
Mitsotakis: Greece Will Support Ukraine Without Undermining Its Own Defenses
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in Brussels on Friday, October 16, that Greece will do everything possible to support Ukraine but will not take steps that compromise its own national defense capabilities. Speaking to Radio Liberty on the sidelines of the European Council summit, he addressed questions over whether Athens would transfer Patriot surface-to-air interceptor missiles from its military stockpiles to Kyiv.
"You know that we have supported Ukraine by providing significant air defense assets from our stockpiles," Mitsotakis said. "At the same time, I want to be completely candid: we will do everything possible to support Ukraine without undermining Greece's defense capabilities. We are also in a security-sensitive region, we have other obligations, but we stand by Ukraine and always try to do everything possible." He declined to comment publicly on whether Kyiv had submitted a formal request.
According to Greek newspaper Kathimerini, Kyiv approached Athens with a request to acquire up to 200 Patriot PAC-2 missiles. Greece has previously transferred shorter-range air defense systems to Ukraine but has not officially announced or authorized deliveries of long-range Patriot interceptors.
