Greece has joined the joint declaration from the G7 nations in support of Ukraine, a move announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky through his Telegram channel. Zelensky expressed appreciation for Greece’s decision to align with the G7’s commitment to Ukraine’s security and stability, underscoring that Greece has become the 14th nation to back security guarantees for Kyiv. In his remarks, Zelensky also thanked Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for his steadfastness in the Ukrainian–Greek partnership and affirmed a shared determination to pursue cooperation that could lead to Greece becoming a member of NATO in the near term. The announcement highlighted a broader regional intent to bolster Ukraine’s resilience and deter aggression across Europe, with North American allies keenly watching developments as part of a coordinated security framework.
Andriy Yermak, who leads the Office of the President of Ukraine, noted that almost ten countries were participating in the G7 joint declaration. The list included Denmark, Spain, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Finland, Iceland, Belgium, and Portugal, illustrating a wide coalition of partners offering political and practical backing to Kyiv amid ongoing tensions and security challenges.
The events followed the July 12 statement from the G7, issued during the Vilnius NATO summit on July 11–12, which reaffirmed Ukraine’s security needs and outlined plans for military assistance and contingencies in the event of renewed conflict with Russia. The declaration reflected a sustained international commitment to Ukraine’s defense and regional stability, signaling a coordinated approach that aims to deter aggression and support Kyiv’s sovereignty over the long term.
Previously, discussions between the United States and Ukraine had progressed toward security guarantees for Kyiv, signaling an ongoing dialogue about long-term assurances that could accompany Ukraine’s continued pursuit of security and regional resilience. This evolving dynamic is of particular interest to observers in Canada and the United States, where policymakers closely monitor how allied declarations translate into concrete support, defense planning, and alliance strengthening.
