NATO chief: Greece ready to provide Ukraine with ships for grain export

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said that Greece is ready to provide Ukraine with ships to help export grain from its ports.

“Greece has announced that they are ready to provide ships for the export of grain from Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said at the NATO summit in Madrid on June 30, RBK-Ukraine reports with reference to Sky News.

Meanwhile, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said his country "should play a special role in this effort as it controls the world's largest merchant fleet."

"Greece once again offers assistance and support to any efforts undertaken under the auspices of the UN to ensure that the grain that is now in Ukraine, primarily in Odesa, gets to the countries that need it today," he said.
