ATHENS, March 1 — Greece backs European Union sanctions against Russia after its unlawful invasion of Ukraine and stands ready to host Ukraine refugees, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told parliament today.

"Greece was always on the right side of history and we are doing the same today, we belong in the West, to freedom and democracy,” he said. "For Greece there are no dilemmas, we are on the side of Ukraine, freedom and democracy.”

Greece is on alert for any cyberattacks, he said. — Reuters
